Simon Kirby, MP for Brighton Kemptown and Peacehaven is using the Conservative Party Conference in Manchester to continue his lobbying campaign for a new Royal Sussex County Hospital.
Simon met today with the Secretary of State for Health, Jeremy Hunt MP, to emphasise the importance of securing the £420million needed to build a new hospital for Sussex.
Concerns have been growing in Brighton and Hove following delays in an announcement of when the funds would be released by the government.
The Secretary of State was impressed with strength of local support, as demonstrated through Simon’s hospital petition. At present the petition has nearly 1,000 signatures and a large number of constituents have contacted Simon to make their support known.
Simon said:
“I will continue to lobby the highest levels of Government to secure the funding needed to build a new Royal Sussex County Hospital.
“I want to encourage everyone to sign my petition and make sure that the Government is aware of their support to provide the excellent staff of the Royal Sussex with a 21st Century hospital.”
