HELP US SAVE THE NHS!

We the undersigned call on the government to:

• ensure that the NHS meets users’ needs, including giving a full range of services everywhere, which are funded from taxation;

• stop cuts to hospital and other health services;

• safeguard the jobs of NHS staff;

• halt healthcare privatisation; and

• revise the NHS Bill fundamentally so that it reflects these aims.

We believe the coalition government’s NHS changes will significantly damage healthcare in this country. Specifically, they’re cutting NHS funding – you may have heard the recent announcement about ward closures at the Hallamshire hospital. Also, they’re pushing a new NHS Bill through parliament. If this becomes law, private companies will almost certainly be increasingly involved in healthcare. This may mean a greater risk that other NHS services and hospitals will close. If enough people object to the government’s proposals, we can persuade them to change their minds.
