"A triumph
for Mid Sussex people power" That was how Mid Sussex MP, Nicholas Soames, described the conclusion of the Fit for the Future Process. Commenting Nicholas Soames said; “The truth is that when the Support the Princess Royal Hospital campaign started nobody believed that it would be possible to retain a full Accident and Emergency service at the PRH as well as our essential maternity services.” “As a result of the whole community coming together across Mid Sussex, people power has triumphed over Government un-reason. “71,000 people signed the Support the PRH petition against the downgrading of facilities; two marches and rallies were attended by 22,000 people; 1,000 people took part in a 24 hour candlelit vigil symbolising the community’s protection of the hospital and 100’s of people attended public meetings across Mid Sussex.” Mr Soames said; “I am so proud of what Mid Sussex people have achieved in this memorable and wonderful campaign and I salute all those who organised the Support the PRH campaign and who took part in it in whatever way. This is a great day for all of us and the end of a long road. We
should celebrate.” |
