Chichester Hospital threat involving the contract for A & E services. Chichester’s Accident & Emergency services are under threat following the decision to hand the multi-million-pound NHS contract to Bupa CSH Limited. Western Sussex Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is considering challenging the decision to award the MSK (musculoskeletal) contract away from it and other NHS providers. It is thought that this decision could threaten the future of the two A&E trauma units at St Richard’s Hospital in Chichester and Worthing Hospital.

The Western Sussex Hospitals commercial director Mike Jennings said:“At the moment, our main concern is about how this will affect our trauma services. “Emergency surgery on fractures or broken hips in the elderly is done by the same surgeons who do planned hip and knee replacements, but the trauma services are not included in the MSK contract.

St Wilfrids Hospice

The annual vintage sale in the Assembly Rooms, North Street on Friday 5^th September was held by St Wilfrid’s Hospice.

The event was a great opportunity for shoppers to purchase a variety of authentic vintage items such as cloths, jewellery, ladies accessories, toys and furniture. Lot’s of people were sourcing outfits for the Goodwood Revival this weekend (12^th September – 14^th September).

The St Wilfrid’s Hospice vintage sale was really well attended with vintage lovers coming from as far afield as Petworth, Brighton and Portsmouth. The organisers were welcomed with a considerable queue of bargain hunters when the doors opened, despite the wet weather.

The scene was complimented with music from Dawn’s Vintage Do and shoppers could take a break and enjoy the music with tea and cakes in the tearoom.

A staggering £8,000 was raised for the St Wilfrid’s Hospice. With running costs of just under £6.7m a year for the hospice to operate, this is a really important fund raising event as only 12% of the running costs are funded by the NHS.
