Because a private company's main agenda is profit. This service should be about providing equipment to the patient, when they need it.

Thank you for your comment Tarpon. My aim here is to highlight the fact that it is almost definitely going to be privatised, unless the public get involved and make sure that the councillors involved actually know what this service does do for people in the community. I hope we still have a...

Thank you. Think I have posted the correct link now. I agree that privatisation is not always a bad thing. I believe that in this case, it will be.

Yes. It was dull to me too, until someone I loved needed to come home to die, then it wasn't so dull. This service made that happen, that day, when we needed them. I know that it doesn't seem interesting. It's only when you need this service that it comes to light what an amazing job they...

Afternoon. Just a last attempt to get this in the news and for the people of Brighton and Hove to realise what is going on with their health service. Please forward and circulate however you wish. Thank you. Up the Albion.* http://www.theargus.co.uk/news/11463..._health_plans/

I'll remember him as a hard working forward, who gives 100% every game but he's not going to be good enough for where we want to be.

I have worked for the Integrated Community Equipment Service for a number of years. We are a prescriber lead service, with very little control on any overspend on the equipment budget. If a need is identified we have to supply it. These needs by clients are becoming more complex which impacts...

This is the last time I'll post this. Thank you to the 145 of you that have read my posts before and signed this petition. It is so appreciated. From what we're hearing now, the privatisation of this service is almost definitely going ahead, but I am hoping that if we get some more...

I've decided to repost this as I understand that I may not have made a good first impression on NSC. A friend of mine recommended this site to me as an excellent way of informing people about things that are going on in our community. I also understand that not all of you will have heard of us...

Absolutely right. This is why we are trying to inform Brighton and Hove residents about what is happening. Privatising this service will not only cost tax payers more money, it will have a huge affect on the local community, the quality of service they receive and hospital discharges will be...

I have just updated the petition. Regarding Westdene Seagull's comment about 'nothing to suggest B&H council are planning doing this ... was he aware that the Goldstone ground was being sold under our noses without being told??

If you, or anyone you know, has ever received equipment from the Integrated Community Equipment Service, and believe that services like this should remain public and not about profit, please take a moment to sign this online petition to oppose the proposals to privatise it. We deliver equipment...
