NIGEL WELCOMES HOSC COMMITTEE VOTE

Nigel Waterson said after the decision by HOSC to refer back to the Minister, “ I am delighted that this decision was taken, it backs up ALL the people of East Sussex, our campaign is not just for Eastbourne it is everyone in our County.

Pressure must now be used so that the Minister will be referring the whole process to The Independent Review Panel.

I look forward to that Panel agreeing with the residents of Eastbourne and the area that we should keep two fully maintained maternity unit.

I thank the members of HOSC for backing the people’s campaigns and not the PCT”.
