A Joint Health Overview and Scrutiny Committee (Joint HOSC) has been set up to scrutinise West Sussex and Brighton & Hove City Primary Care Trusts’ (PCTs) proposals to change local acute (i.e. hospital) services and plans for community services.

West Sussex County Council, East Sussex County Council, Hampshire County Council, Brighton and Hove City Council, Surrey County Council, Portsmouth City Council
The Joint HOSC's report is now available. See links on right to Full Report, Executive Summary or individual sections and appendices.
