Rallies are to be held in the area on Saturday May 17 as a major step in trying to change the mind of West Sussex Primary Care Trust and adviser Sir Graeme Catto, who no longer have a new hospital on the agenda.

County council leader Henry Smith is part of the rally organising team and commented: "I am really pleased that the Crawley and Horsham town centre rallies will allow all concerned residents to vote with their feet and voice their support for a new area NHS hospital with A&E.

"It doesn't matter what your background is, we are all equally adversely affected by the lack of local emergency health provision and the need for new facilities for our important part of the country is the most important issue."
