Medsin demands an end to privatisation of the NHS!
Written by Peter Baker, about 1 year ago | Permalink | Branch: UCL | Campaign: Save Our NHS
Thousands of Students, pensioners, trade unionists, socialists and health activists from around the country marched across London and descended on Trafalgar Square this Saturday. Some groups demanded better care for the elderly, others for decent pay and conditions for health workers and still others were campaigning for an end to the back-door privatisation. Despite the variety of demands they had the same core principles at heart. The demo was really a unanimous call for universal high quality public health care, regardless of age, gender, location or ability to pay. Medsin members proudly (and loudly!) joined in with slogans such as “public health not private wealth!”.
This is just the start of Medsin’s involvement. At the march Ken Livingstone called the NHS the best invention of his life time. Lets not be the generation that sits idly by as one of the fairest and most efficient health systems ever developed is torn apart. There’s lots to do!
