Here's more on the news that the troubled Trust that runs the Royal Sussex County Hospital in Brighton and the Princess Royal in Haywards Heath is being taken over.

It's being taken over by Western Sussex NHS Health Trust - one of the top performing hospitals trusts in the country.

This trust runs Worthing Hospital and St Richards in Chichester.

Staff in Brighton’s Royal Sussex hospital tell me this is a “take over” but not a merger. They say they were “surprised” at the news and found out late in the day.

I understand there wasn’t much discussion. But this will hopefully provide stability for the thousands who work in one of our busiest hospitals . 

The agreement, signed between Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust, Western Sussex Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and NHS Improvement, has created an interim arrangement between the two trusts to begin a new way of working together.

Councillors on West Sussex's health select committee don't have any power over the NHS - but they can ask questions of those that do.

Yesterday, they welcomed Alan Beasley from the High Weald, Lewes and Havens CCG - the NHS body that hired beleagured patient transport provider Coperforma

His answers revealed a few nuggets of interesting information.

Contrary to reports in the press that Coperforma was "stripped" of the Sussex contract - Coperforma approached the CCG to ask to hand it back, and it took the CCG completely by surprise. 

"This was an unforeseen outcome and it required immediate action," said Mr Beasley.

The CCG shares some people's worries that the new provider - the South Central Ambulance Service - might have too much on its plate launching in Sussex and Surrey at the same time. But, said Mr Beasley, "we've received the appropriate level of assurances".

And remember how the NHS spent money paying staff at ambulance firm Docklands when their employers didn't? That money is now going to be clawed back from Coperforma.

I'm back on BBC Sussex from 09:00 GMT this morning.

Here's what's coming up on the show.

Days before Armistice Day two men have been stealing the poppy collection boxes from businesses across Sussex.

There have been thefts at The Pump House on Market Street in Brighton, Co-Op on South Coast Road in Peacehaven and the Royal Mail Delivery Office in Bexhill. 

Boxes were also stolen from the Sussex Pub in St Catherine's Terrace and Card Factory on George Street in Hove.

Police want to speak with these two men who they believe are connected to the thefts.  

One man is believed to be between 40 and 60 years old and the other between 25 and 30.

Brighton's much-loved graffiti alley is going to be replaced by houses.
