We believe plans to centralise three services at Worthing (emergency surgery, inpatient paediatrics and maternity) will not jeopardise 2012 training plans.
If, when more detail of the plans for 2012 is available, any special arrangements need to be put in place on a temporary basis, I'm confident we can agree that with local NHS providers.

Of course, events organisers also have a responsibility to make sure they have adequate arrangements in place for the safety of those attending.
