DONHS : action meeting 2 March
With all the bad news emanating from our local NHS we are pleased to post the latest missive from local people who are trying to defend our great institution rather than see its demise as a career opportunity!
Dear friends of the NHS
Defend Our NHS: action meeting!
The public meeting on Friday (March 2) was a big success. There was a good turn-out despite the awful weather, our speakers were excellent, and the meeting joined in enthusiastically to shape our strategy for forthcoming weeks and months,
We asked – and attendees answered – three questions:
- What is your main concern about the NHS?
- What should WE ALL do about our concerns?
- Will YOU actively join our campaign?
Now it’s YOUR chance to join in the fight to stop the awful local and national damaging changes to our NHS as it is ‘slashed, trashed and privatised’.
How? Come to our next PUBLIC MEETING: Friday 16TH March from 7.00pm at The Welcome Centre, 43 Hamilton Street, CH41 5AA, Birkenhead.
Meanwhile THIS THURSDAY Wirral Clinical Commissioning Group is holding a ‘public engagement’ event at Heswall Hall, Heswall (8th March 2018 from6.30pm).
You might want to ask them: 1) why they are supporting a ‘pop-up’ maternity centre in Seacombe when so much medical evidence is against the idea; 2) why are they continuing to implement local changes to the NHS when WIRRAL COUNCIL HAS VOTED TO OPPOSE THEM.
Is it right that, in 2018 in one of the richest countries in the world, we have headlines like this one in the Liverpool Echo last week about Arrowe Park?
“Nurses ‘forced to wear COATS’ and patients left ‘freezing’ as hospital heating breaks. Staff gave out blankets – fears pregnant mums and young children were also affected.”
YOU can join us to fight to restore a decent NATIONAL HEALTH SERVICE.
Best wishes on behalf of Defend Our NHS
