Thousands are set to march in a national demonstration in the fight to save the NHS from destruction and here’s how and why you should join them.
Private companies are gaining an ever greater foothold within the NHS. Years of pay restraint has seen the value of NHS staff salaries reduce by 14% since 2010. The Government’s Sustainability and Transformation Plans are a smokescreen for a massive programme of hospital and community service closures, and are its latest instrument for privatisation.
“The NHS is one of our greatest achievements. We cannot allow it to be undermined and ultimately destroyed. Join us on Saturday 4 March and send a clear message to this Government.”
We must fight to save the NHS from destruction. The threat is real. It is happening now. Hospitals, GPs, mental health, ambulance and community services are on their knees.
#OurNHS will hold a National Demonstration for a fully funded, publicly owned, NHS & social care service. No cuts, no closures and no privatisation. The demonstration called by Health Campaigns Together & The People’s Assembly will also march to end the pay restraint for NHS staff.
Join us, #MentalMovement, as we march with and for the NHS! If you want to march with us, email your interest and we will send our meeting point details!
