Last week it was revealed that a total closure of the hospital was one of many possible outcomes of a health service shake-up in West Sussex.

Consultants from the hospital told of their disbelief after coming away from a meeting with Steve Phoenix, the transitional chief executive of the soon-to-be West Sussex Primary Care Trust, feeling complete closure was a serious option.

They have drawn up a series of battle plans to save the hospital.

MPs Peter Bottomley and Tim Loughton also praised the Herald and warned they are gearing up for the "mother and father" of a fight to save Worthing Hospital.
