AS the clock ticks down to the end of the consultation into the future of Worthing and Southlands hospitals, protesters are gathering tonight for a final stand.
From 6pm Keep Worthing and Southlands Hospitals (KWASH) campaigners will be holding a vigil until 7.15am tomorrow (Wednesday) morning.
They will then walk from the hospital to the West Sussex Primary Care Trust (PCT) headquarters, pushing a bed stacked with petitions, post cards and other documents against the downgrading plans.
They are expected to arrive at 8.15am, ready to hand over their documents to PCT chief executive John Wilderspin.
The consultation closes at 9am.
