"A triumph
for Mid Sussex people power" as PRH saved 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.” |
