Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust failed to secure any points in the recent table published about hospitals - a really worrying situation for those of us who rely on their services.

We cannot continue to build more and more homes without addressing the water supply issue properly" says Sue Knight, Liberal Democrat member of the County Council.
