The Brighton & Hove Universities Hospitals are proposing to become a Foundation Trust. Local people can become members of the Trust, elect and serve on its Board of Governors, and be involved in the future direction of the Trust. Membership is free and available to anyone aged over 12. The hospitals are a major local employer, and of course provide hospital care to many in Whitehawk and Manor Farm.
