History

The facility, which was financed by voluntary donations, was completed in 1892. [1] [2] The hospital expanded into new purpose-built facilities slightly further east along Hurst Road in May 1923. [2] A physiotherapy department, an outpatients department and a new maternity unit were all introduced during the Second World War. [2] After the hospital joined the National Health Service in 1948, further additions included extra wards in 1981 and a new outpatients department in 1997. [2] In June 2019 the trust began a consultation on closing a dementia ward at the hospital. [3]

Brighton and Hove, a city and unitary authority in the English county of East Sussex, has a wide range of public services funded by national government, East Sussex County Council, Brighton and Hove City Council and other public-sector bodies. Revenue to fund these services comes partly from Council Tax, which is paid annually by residents: this tax provides the city council with nearly 20% of its income and also helps to fund the local police force, Sussex Police, and the county's fire service, East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Some of Brighton and Hove's utilities and infrastructure are provided by outside parties, such as utility companies, rather than by the city council.
