All very silly really, when the main aim is surely to save the community hospitals.

Hospitals in the South are helping where they can. It's about patients first. Our community is known as one of passion and compassion and that's what this is about.

We need to alert the community to a critical blood shortage. Hospitals across the state are requesting more units of blood to meet the needs of accident, surgical and cancer patients.

We want to have a successful show with someone who is in touch with the local community. Because, how silly would it be for us not to include every demographic?

I've always felt that two hospitals was good for the community. The competition has kept both hospitals on their toes.

We are now convinced, given some unfortunate changes in our community, this is something we have to do.
