CAMPAIGNERS are calling for drug and alcohol services in Brighton and Hove to continue to be run by the NHS.

The city council has put substance misuse services out to tender after carrying out a review and redesign.

The city's range of support and treatment had previously been run by the NHS and several different agencies.

A decision on the new contract is expected to be announced shortly. Unison members from the Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, who work in the city, are petitioning the council to keep the service they provide within the NHS.
