Public Meeting To Discuss the NHS Crisis Called By Local Health Trade Union

“Unite Nottinghamshire” have called a public meeting to discuss the current NHS crisis, following the news that the proposed merger between Sherwood Forest Hospitals Trusts and Nottingham University Hospitals was scrapped last week.

The Unite Nottinghamshire Health Service Brance has called the public meeting, which will be held in Nottingham on Wednesday evening, to show why the crisis in the NHS developed, highlight the threat to health services and explain how the campaign to save them can be built.

John Dale, a representative of the group, said “There’s a growing crisis of the NHS throughout Nottinghamshire, not only the huge debt that Kings Mill Private Finance Initiative saddled us with, but also the plans to take a lot of services out of hospitals and supposedly put them into the community”

“If we don’t put up a fight not just in Nottinghamshire but all over the country to save our NHS, it’s no exaggeration to say that over the next few years it’s going to end up as a U.S style “pay as you go” privatised service – it’s that desperate we have to fight for it or else we’ll lose it”  

All health workers, trade unionists and all who use the NHS are invited to the meeting, which will take place at the New Art Exchange, Gregory Boulevard, Nottingham – on Wednesday 9th November at 6pm
