SHUT DOWN THE TOWN TO SAVE STAFFORD/CANNOCK HOSPITAL

    No to ‘independent’ administrators decision!

The ‘independent’ administrators have announced what they decided months ago as it fits in with the government’s plans to dismantle the NHS. 

 

No one in Staffordshire accepts their verdict!

 

SHUT DOWN THE TOWN TO SAVE STAFFORD/CANNOCK HOSPITAL

 

The people of Staffordshire have demonstrated great support for our hospitals. Yet the powers that be still want to reduce our services.

The pressure we all put on means they are reducing less than initially planned.

 

BUT IF WE ARE TO MAKE THEM LISTEN TO US AND KEEP OUR SERVICES THEN WE MUST CLOSE DOWN THE TOWN FOR A HUGE PROTEST

 

Every business must close, every worker stop work for half a day to build a giant week day rally that can make crystal clear we will not accept the loss of our services.

 

We call on;

• Trade Unions to rapidly organise meetings
• Support Stafford Hospital to call for such action and name the date
• Community groups, residents to organise local public meetings to mobilise support

Keep Private Vultures out of the NHS!

The Health and Social Care Act (2012) has unleashed chaos into the health service. A full competitive market is trampling on cooperation and fragmenting service delivery, paving the way for private companies to cherry pick the most profitable treatments. 

The government’s multi million pound shake up, coupled with an unprecedented £20 billion of so-called efficiency savings are putting our NHS at grave risk. In just three years £7 billion of new NHS contracts have flooded the private health care market– a figure set to soar to £20 billion in the next few years.

We say ……….

* Axe the Health and Social Care Act

* Kick big business vultures out of the NHS

* Stop all cuts, closures and privatisation

* All hospitals to be fully funded by the NHS

* Adequate staffing levels to provide good quality care for all patients with decent pay and conditions for all staff

* A mass national trade union-led weekend demonstration to save the NHS

* Health unions should organise industrial action to defend every part of the health service

* A 24-hour general strike against all cuts

A Health Service for all!

Socialist Principals were at the core of the NHS when it was set up in 1948. Health care available to all, free at the point of use was a massive victory for working class people. 

We want big business out of the NHS, the pharmaceutical companies nationalised and health spending increased. Health workers, service users and communities they serve should have democratic control over how and where money is spent.
