I read with horror that Horsham and Mid Sussex CCG has been placed in Special Measures by NHS England - not because of allowing appalling medical services but because they are apparently £14.5 million in the red! How dare they!

We all know that Horsham and Mid Sussex CCG does its absolute best to provide a good medical service to everyone and it is excellent to know that both St Richard’s Hospital in Chichester and the Pulborough Medical Group have been awarded an ‘Outstanding’ in recent CQC inspections.

This proves that the CCG does know how to prioritise spending on all the different medical services in this area and does not need NHS England to bully it into shape! How on earth the CCG is supposed to deliver the same quality of service with £14.5 million less to spend, beggars belief!
