The building has now been put up for sale with a starting price of £3 million. A spokeswoman from BPAS confirmed the closure and said the charity was “placed out of tender” by Brighton and Hove Clinical Commissioning Group. She said: “Wiston’s clinic was one of BPAS’ first, opened more than 40 years ago, when all of our clients needed bed-rest following an abortion. “With the many changes in the way abortion is now delivered and the introduction of telemedical care for Early Medical Abortion during the pandemic, the number of surgical treatments has reduced significantly, along with the type and length of anaesthetic.
