Local NHS Trust mergers - major reorganisation at time of crisis and with no real consultation26/11/2020 Extraordinarily, given the enormous strain the hospitals are under, the CEO of Western Sussex Hospitals Marianne Griffiths, who now also heads up Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals Trust, is steaming ahead with a merger of both Trusts and a major reorganisation of facilities and services. So-called 'mergers' always lead to hospital closures in the name of 'rationalisation', BSUHT staff will face contract transfers, and staff and patients are likely to have to travel further. Campaign groups across Sussex have called for a halt to these plans until there has been a full and meaningful consultation with the public and a detailed impact assessment.
