NHS Sussex is responsible for agreeing the strategic priorities and resource allocation for all NHS organisations in Sussex. This involves focusing on the needs of people and communities and leading the improvement of high-quality health and care services to meet those needs.

A spokesperson for NHS Sussex said:“Our ambition is to provide integrated and joined-up services, so people receive the best possible experience and are supported to maintain their health throughout their lives.

“We encourage everyone to join us and see health and care leaders discuss future ways of working for the local NHS and our partner organisations to achieve better health for all in Sussex.”
