Members of the entertainment community have been offering their support for the Campaign:
Comments in support of the December Vigil:
“Dear Everyone - I would like to wish you the best of luck with your campaign to save The Conquest and particularly with the vigil tonight. If you feel the whole thing is dragging a bit you could always try setting fire to one of the chief executives for a bit of extra warmth - Hope your night is short” - Love Jo Brand
“I fully support the campaigners to keep the vitally important core services of Maternity and A&E at the superb Conquest Hospital. The infrastructure between Hastings and Eastbourne makes it obvious for this area. I say good luck to the campaigners. The Health Authority and Ministers must listen to the people's democratic wishes.” - Paul McCartney

Legendary musician Paul McCartney had the following to say:
“Any cut back in medical services for this and any other region is a real shame. These are services for the people of the area and I for one support the efforts
of the people who are trying to make sure that these closures don’t happen.”
- Paul McCartney, September 2006
Comedian Jo Brand has contacted the Campaign to offer her support:
“There cannot be a south coast town more in need of a fully
serviced accident and emergency department and fully functioning
district hospital to meet the diverse needs of the town’s citizens.”
- Jo Brand, September 2006
