Your opinion countsIf you have an opinion about the hospital redevelopment,

please speak to a member of staff or complete a form.

Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals and the 3Ts redevelopment team are dedicated to building the best possible hospital, both inside and out. This is why we actively engage with local residents, interest groups, patients and statutory bodies about the project. One of the results of the process so far can be seen in the two images below.

The new hospital design - June 2010

The new hospital design - January 2010

These changes occurred after extensive consultation with local residents, English Heritage, local interest groups and Brighton and Hove City Council planners.

The consultation and engagement programme around the hospital redevelopment doesn’t end with the outside of the building. Regular design meetings are held with healthcare professionals, expert patients and users of services to optimise the design of all the departments in the new buildings. The engagement programme will continue to connect with people from across the city and the region to ensure the best healthcare future for all the users of the Royal Sussex County Hospital.

Council staff‘let down bymanagement’COUNCIL staff feel forgot-ten, ignored and unsup-ported at work, accordingto a confidential reportleaked to The Argus.

An internal report pro-duced by staff at Mid SussexDistrict Council said workershad little confidence in theirbosses and felt unable to tellthem when they could notcope with their workload.

The Wellbeing Initiativereport was put together afterthe council received a routineinspection from a team fromthe Health and Safety Execu-tive in 2009.

An inspector advised thecouncil to take action to assessthe level of workplace stressand said an improvementnotice would be served if thecouncil failed to tackle theproblem.

The council formed a steer-ing group of 45 members of

staff from different tiers ofmanagement, who were askedquestions about the demandson them at work, the controland support they have, theirrelationships with their col-leagues and managers and thechanges that have taken placewithin the council.

Resigned

In May former chief execu-tive John Jory announced hehad resigned from his post tobecome chief executive atReigate and Banstead Bor-ough Council.

His deputy, Kathryn Hall,has been managing the day-to-day running of the councilwith heads of department,and councillors have accepteda recommendation that shetakes over the role perma-nently.

In the report, staff com-plained of a lack of communi-cation with management andsaid offices were of poor qual-ity. It also said workloads werehigh and many staff felt theyhad could not discuss theirworkload with managers.

Staff also said that theywere unable to claim backextra hours they had worked.

A council spokeswomansaid staff were anxiousbecause they were concernedGovernment cuts could costthem their jobs.

The joint initiative betweenmanagement and Unison wasset up and five focus groups,consisting of a cross-section ofstaff from across the council,were held in June this year.

She said: “Management andunion representatives arekeen to address the concernsraised by staff and are puttingtogether an action plan.”[email protected]

The promised redevelopment of the Royal Sussex County Hospital is just the tonic the city needs

DEMOLITION OF THE BARRY AND JUBILEE BUILDINGS

The Barry Building was built in 1828 - 20 years before FlorenceNightingale started nursing.The main entrance is at what used to be the basement level, sopatients and visitors have to climb, or be wheeled up, a steep slope touse the building.The ceiling height is very low – too low to use with a mobile X-ray unit.There is a lack of natural light.Three lift journeys are required to get from A&E to the Barry buildingwards, including going outside.The space between some beds is less than the 8ft Florence Nightingalesaid was the minimum – and considerably less than modern standards.If an inpatient needs the CT scanner, theatres or the Cancer Centre,they have to be taken outside regardless of the weather.Maintenance costs can run into millions of pounds each year.

REPLACING AND EXPANDING THE SUSSEX CANCER CENTRE

Eleven radiotherapy machines will be needed by 2018 to keep pace withthe increase in population and cancer.Otherwise patients will have to travel to other centres or waiting timeswill increase. The chemotherapy unit is cramped, giving limited privacyand dignity.

BRINGING THE HURSTWOOD PARK NEUROSCIENCES CENTRE FROMHAYWARDS HEATH TO BRIGHTON

The current home was originally built in 1938 as an acute psychiatricadmissions unit.There are too few single rooms, no en-suite single rooms and only fourtoilets on each ward.Accessing the MRI scanner involves a long corridor and two lift journeys.Lifts frequently break down, in which case an ambulance is called totake the patient from Hurstwood Park around the site to the MRIscanner.14% of Sussex patients needing neurosurgery have to travel to Londonfor their treatment because Hurstwood Park isn’t big enough.There are only two operating theatres, which results in a high rate ofcancellations for planned operations because of emergency admissions.

CREATION OF A MAJOR TRAUMA CENTRE AT THE ROYAL SUSSEX

Major trauma is the leading cause of death in the under 40s, andincludes traffic accidents, assaults, falls and knife wounds.It is also a major cause of debilitating long-term injuries – for eachtrauma death, there are two survivors with serious or permanentdisability.Having a major trauma centre at Brighton will increase survival rates byup to 20%.

OBJECTIONS

The redevelopment is too large for the area and will cause majordisruption while building work is carried out.Concerns about the number of car parking spaces available – residentsstill don't feel there are enough and there must be more promotion oftravel by public transport to the hospital.There are concerns about the impact on traffic on an already busyEastern Road.The helipad will cause noise and disruption for local residents and thereare concerns about its impact on the skyline.Residents say the final design of the frontage onto Eastern Road is akey issue and must be in keeping with the surrounding character ofKemp Town.

AIR AMBULANCE

The original plans for the helipad were to place it on top of a new 14storey building. But the new building could be seen from the nearbyLewes Crescent heritage area and the hospital was asked to lower it to11 storeys.However, for safety reasons, the helipad still had to be the same height,which meant a raised platform would have to be installed.This did not go down well with residents, councillors or planners sohospital managers are now planning to install the helipad on the top ofthe 14 storey Thomas Kemp Tower instead, where it is not so visible.The hospital expects there to be less than one flight a week on average.There will be no hovering or circling – the helicopter will go straight tothe helipad, land, discharge the patient and take off.A helicopter will not be based on the site and it will not fly at night.

The cases for change

“IF we don’t seize thisopportunity now, then itwill be another ten years atleast beforewe get the samechance again.”

This stark warning is todaymade by Duncan Selbie, chiefexecutive of Brighton and Sus-sexUniversityHospitalswhichruns the Royal Sussex CountyHospital in Brighton, as it pre-pares to submit a planningapplication for a major £420million redevelopment of thesite.

The hospital has spent thepast two years liaising andworking with Brighton andHove City Council planners,councillors, residents, heritageand conservation groups, envi-ronmentalists and its own staffto come up with a suitable pro-posal.

It is a massive undertakingandwill include the demolitionof the hospital's old Barry andJubilee buildings, replacingand expanding the SussexCan-cer Centre and the creation ofa helipad for the air ambulanceon top of the Thomas Kemptower block.

The hospital has redesignedits overall plans a staggering 27times to accommodate thedemandsmade of it – includingchanging the height of thebuilding and relocating the siteof the helipad, which will costan extra £4 million.

It has also agreed to put in alarger underground car parkthan originally planned, whichwill mean an extra 350 placeswill be added to the existing 491on the site. But time is nowrunning out.

Sources have told TheArgusthat the Government hasagreed to approve the fundingof the redevelopment, but thiswill only happen formally onceplanning permission is given.

It is known that several

other hospital trusts aroundthe country have expressedshock that Brighton has beengiven themoney and any delaymay result in the funding beinglost.

It will mean that the city'shospitalwill be stuck in its cur-rent run-down state for yearsto come.

The fear now is that unlessthe process starts moving for-ward quickly, that approvalwill be lost and the money willdisappear forever.

The hospital wants to get itsapplication into the councilthis summer, already sixmonths later than hoped for,but still needs that final nodfrom planning officers to press

ahead.Mr Selbie said: “This is

the best opportunity wehave to become a mod-ern teaching hospitalnot only for people inBrighton andHove butacross Sussex and theSouth East as well.

“It will enable us tofurther develop

and expandour linksw i t h

Brighton and Sussex MedicalSchool as well as develop andprovide more services whichwill bring in more jobs to thearea.

“We know there have beenconcerns about the scale of thedevelopment and the impacton local residents and we havedone everything we can toaccommodate those.

“The Barry and Jubileebuildings are totally unsuit-able for 21st century care andthey need to go.”

Redevelopment projectdirector Duane Passman saysthe Royal Sussex has been oneof the most complex and diffi-cult projects he has everworked with.

It is a city centre site andsurrounded by residentialstreets and five conservationareas.

He said: “We are aware ofthe impact of the developmentand the disruption that will becaused by the constructionwork.

“We are not insensitive tothat. Howeverwe have reachedthe point where we have got toget on with it.”

Councillors, planning offi-

cers and MPs agree the chanceof a new hospital is welcome,but they are still not 100% sat-isfied all concerns have beenmet.

Council leader Mary Mearssaid: “Anew expanded hospitalwould certainly be a boost forthe city. It would representabout £400 million of Govern-ment investment over the com-ing years.

“In the current economic cli-mate that is highly unusual

and we are one of the fewplaces in the country to receivesuch funding.

“Such a large investment isbound to be a boost to the localeconomy and will hopefullycreate job opportunities forlocal residents.

"However, residents willclearly have concerns aboutvarious aspects of the pro-posed development and wemust ensure that these aredealt with as part of the plan-ning process.”

Labour Kemptown wardcouncillor Craig Turton agreesa new hospital would be amajor boost for the city butsaid local concerns had to betaken into consideration.

He said: “The hospital's pre-Florence Nightingale wardsbadly need to bemodernised tothe benefit of patients, visitorsand staff.

“The city has established anexcellent medical school and

needs these complementary,top-class hospital facilities.

“The trust still needs to domore to address concernsregarding the height and themass of the proposed build-ings.

“Time may be pressing butthis is a huge development andhas to be right.

“Local people will have tolive with this redevelopmentthat has the potential to signif-icantly change the characterand social fabric of KempTown.

“I certainly do not think thattime is a consideration.

“The trust knows that itsplanning application can onlybe submitted when it stands achance of being granted andthat can only happen if it isrealistic and has broad sup-port.”

Council head of planningMartin Randall said: "It’s acomplex project which pres-

ents particular challenges, notleast where to put a helicopterlanding pad.

“We are in a pre-applicationprocess which is provingextremely helpful anddesigned to save time later.That is continuing.

“Our aim is to get a develop-ment which maximises bene-fits to thewhole citywhilemin-imising costs locally in termsof its impact and operation.

“We’re crystal clear on theimportance of the hospital andwant this progressed as fast aspossible. Everyone is workingtowards a planning applicationbeing submitted at the earliestopportunity.”

Green Brighton Pavilion MPCaroline Lucas said: “I 100%support the redevelopment ofthe Royal Sussex and it is vitalthat we go forward with theproject as soon as possible.

“I understand there are stillareas of concerns and obvi-

ously those are legitimate con-cerns but I feel the hospital hasdone as much as it can to allaythose.

“I would also hope that asthe project progresses, theissues raised will be dealt withbut we need to make progressnow.

“We have the opportunityfor aworld class hospital in thecity and we mustn't lose it.”Brighton Kemptown MPSimon Kirby, whose con-stituency includes the RoyalSussex, said: “Themost impor-tant thing is that we have thebest possible hospital that wecan.

“I am conscious of a numberof issues that concern resi-dents and they need to beaddressed as much as possible.

“I amkeen for this to happenquickly but we have only oncechance at this and we need toget it right.”

FUTURE: How the redeveloped Royal Sussex County Hospital in Brighton would look from the sea and from Roedean Road. Clearly visible on top of the 14-storey building is the air ambulance helipad

by SIOBHAN RYANHealth Reporter

As little as five years ago the Royal Sussex andBrighton and Sussex University Hospitals NHSTrust had a poor reputation.It had spiralling debts, a reputation for beinginefficient, long A&E waits, soaring MRSA ratesand regularly had a low score on the annualperformance tables.But in recent years things have changed.From being in a position of owing up to£34 million, the Trust declared itselfdebt free at the end of the last financialyear.From a peak of 141 MRSA cases in the 2005/6

financial year, the trust recorded seven cases in2010/11.Patients are more likely to survive followingtreatment for strokes, heart disease and majoraccidents at the Royal Sussex than almostanywhere else in the country.It is meeting all its waiting time targets and hasgone from having the slowest A&E departmentin the country to one of the fastest.Mr Selbie said: “There is already a lot to beproud of at the Royal Sussex and the PrincessRoyal Hospital in Haywards Heath.“We just want to make it even better.”

All change

OLD: The Barry building is showing its age

Planning application submitted in summer 2011.Planning decision in autumn 2011.If approved, building work to start in early 2012.The first stage of the redevelopment to finish by early 2016.The second and final stage of redevelopment to finish andpatients to move in by 2020.
