DURING the visit Mr Hunt was shown round the Beacon’s in patient unit, had tea with Beacon supporters and volunteers then answered questions from the local media.
Asked about his Governments commitment to prevention and sex education in schools, he said: “I’m proud of our record working with the gay community. The whole centre of gravity in the NHS has to move more towards prevention rather than cure and helping people to live well.”
Mr Hunt went on to praise the Sussex Beacon and the work it delivers saying: “Places like the Sussex Beacon with their holistic approach, offered lessons for those caring for people with other chronic conditions such as diabetes.”
“The success of this place was that it wasn’t dreamt up by a minister in Whitehall but was created and developed by the local communities.”
