WELCOME TO THE OFFICIAL
HANDS OFF THE CONQUEST SITE

This is a non-political, non-profit web site with one goal:

TO FIGHT THE PROPOSED
CUTS AT THE LOCAL HOSPITALS

V.E.S. Day* *That’s Victory in East Sussex Day

FULL maternity services are to be retained
at both the Conquest and the DGH!

“The IRP, the independent expert on NHS service change, publishes a report today recommending that both Eastbourne District General Hospital and Conquest Hospital in Hastings must retain consultant-led maternity, special care baby and inpatient gynaecology services.”

The IRP (Independent Reconfiguration Panel) has published its reports which can be be accessed by clicking here.

You can read the comments on the decision by Margaret Williams, Chair of the HoTC Campaign, by clicking here.

A HUGE thank you to everyone who has supported the campaign!

Is there still a need for the
Hands off The Conquest campaign?
