“If you want to find out more about the state of the NHS and social care try and attend the meeting. You don’t have to be a member of the Labour Party, everyone is welcome.

“Whether you have political views or not everyone’s support for the NHS and social care is vital now. The greater the range of opinions the better will be the debate on such vital services.”

The evening will include guest speakers and doors will open to the public at 7.30pm.

David Andrews, chairman of the Burgess Hill branch said: “We hope for a lively debate on ways to improve these services. We cannot let them be starved of funds or privatised. Our NHS should remain the envy of other countries.
