LONDON RALLY
HAMMERSMITH TOWN HALL King Street W6 9JU (Hammersmith tube)
Organised by London Keep Our NHS Public Coordinating Committe
Hosted by Save Our Hospitals (Hammersmith & Charing Cross) London
London is facing a massive attack on our NHS through a toxic mix of cuts, closures and privatisation. Reports show the crisis of ambulance and A&E waiting times, cancelled operations and overstretched GPs. With yet more proof our NHS is at breaking point, Government reforms only threaten more privatisation.
Londoners have had enough and are organising across the capital to defend their NHS.

FIRST PUBLIC MEETING DISCUSSES HOW TO DEFEND HEALTH SERVICES
On 30 October 110 health workers, residents, trade unionists, councillors and community representatives crammed into East Ham town hall at our first public meeting to hear speakers talk on the current situation in Newham health services. On the platform were Stephens Timms MP who was concerned about the removal of emergency surgery from Newham University Hospital, Jim Lawrie GP from Newham Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) talked about the difficulty in maintaining health services in Newham and Louise Irvine, Chair of the Lewisham campaign described how they built the Lewisham campaign and won. Whipps Cross Hospital Trade Union stewards Sam Strudwick and Charlotte Munro described the fight to maintain services and prevent downbanding across Barts Health and the need to re-instate Charlotte Munro who was sacked for speaking out about her concerns about stroke services.
People were keen to expand the campaign and we now have a campaign meeting arranged for Monday 18 November at 7pm at Stratford Advice Arcade, 107-109 The Grove, Stratford E15 1HP.
