WEST Sussex A&E services likely to be saved
Dr. Peter Hayward, consultant in public health and member of the PCTs' Clinical Reference Advisory Group (CRAG), told the committee meeting that CRAG's proposal includes the retention of acute medicine and accident and emergency services at all three hospitals in West Sussex.
This particular proposal has been endorsed by top medical man Sir Graeme Catto as being the best option for the county in future reconfiguration.

Committee chairman Peter Griffiths said: "We were pleased to hear that A&E is likely to be retained but we do feel that this message needs to get out to the public. People need to know how far local clinicians have developed their plans since the original proposals were launched last year."
