AROUND 100 PROTEST IN CANNOCK AGAINST CANCER CARE SELL-OFF

ANTI-NHS PRIVATISATION GROUP, CANCER NOT FOR PROFIT, (CNFP) HANDED OVER A 60,000 NAME PETITION TODAY AGAINST PLANS TO SELL-OFF STAFFORDSHIRE’S CANCER CARE AND END OF LIFE TREATMENT TO PRIVATE COMPANIES. IF IT WASN’T FOR CNFP’S CAMPAIGNING WORK OVER THE LAST YEAR THIS SELL-OFF WOULD HAVE ALREADY GONE THOUGH.

STEP UP FIGHT TO STOP £1.2 BILLION NHS SELL-OFF OF STAFFORDSHIRE CANCER CARE

The Tories are determined to push through the biggest single privatisation of NHS services by inviting private companies to bid for £1.2bn worth of contracts to provide cancer care across Staffordshire.

WE NEED DECISIVE ACTION TO DEFEND THE NHS FROM THESE PRIVATE VULTURES!

We can’t trust any establishment parties as they all support the dismantling and privatisation of the NHS

Ordinary working class people had to fight to win a publicly owned NHS, now we have to fight to save it!

BUILD A MASS MOVEMENT

Local TUSC supporters along with Unite the Union and other groups set up the Cancer Not for Profit alliance and it’s had a significant impact . More than 60,000 people have already said NO to the sell-off by signing petitions

50,000 marched through Stafford against Tory plans to dismantle Stafford Hospital and the fight goes on. Nationally hundreds of thousands have marched to save the NHS. This opposition gives a glimpse of the massive anger which exists nationwide against NHS privatisation. 

But it’s now more urgent than ever that a plan of action is drawn up nationally by the health trade unions, other unions, local communities, campaign groups etc to carry out an organised campaign against the dismantling and privatisation of the NHS, including strike action if necessary. 

Such a campaign would receive support from millions across Britain and have the potential to stop the Tory’s plans.

But we also need to continue to defend our NHS at the ballot box. 

TUSC ACTION AGAINST NHS PRIVATISATION!

Local TUSC supporters were the first to campaign against the £1.2 billion NHS sell-off and have worked alongside campaign group Cancer Not For Profit

In May 2014 TUSC stood candidates in local elections in Newcastle with a fighting programme to STOP the dismantling and privatisation of the NHS and again in the 2015 elections in Stoke, Newcastle and Stafford. Despite a virtual media blackout, TUSC were the 6^th biggest party nationally in May’s general & local elections. And TUSC will continue to challenge the cuts, closures and privatisation of our NHS at the ballot box at every opportunity.
