The Occupation Movement reached Sheffield on November 5th with the establishment of a camp on the Cathedral forecourt. The struggle to protect the NHS is closely linked to the general challenge presented by the Occupiers to the way in which 1% of the population monopolise resources and powers.
This thread is for comments and information relating to Occupy Sheffield and its links with SSONHS. We will be discussing this at our meeting on 14th November - with the possibility of organising an event to be held at the occupation site. The occupiers are happy to display material relating to the preservation of our National Health Service. SSONHS supporters are encouraged to go down and meet the occupiers and to offer whatever help they can.
Please contibute information or comments to this thread.

We are a grassroots movement comprising people from all walks of life who are, or will be affected by the government’s austerity measures and spending cuts to NHS Services across England. We also strongly oppose the creeping privatisation of the NHS by successive governments. Privatisation = Profit not Good Patient Care
