Hailsham Gazzette ClippingA NEW GP-led service which offers heart checks to all patients in Hailsham and Herstmonceux was launched on Friday.

The Hailsham Community Cardiology Service will be run from Seaforth Farm Surgery in Vicarage Lane but is available to all patients registered at surgeries in the area.

Until recently private healthcare providers were perceived as cash rich commercial businesses simply offering the best consultants money can buy.

The mere mention of a Harley Street doctor was used to indicate status bug in reality was often a promise that was hard to deliver.

By contrast, our beloved NHS was seen as a lumbering Goliath for the masses – inefficient, underfunded and understaffed.

But now, the business barriers between private and public medicine are being broken down, but by whom and how?
