Cameron and Lansley seem to have made the passage of the Bill a matter of saving face - at the expense of the most popular public service in the country, and for that matter at the expense of our future health.
Doctors' organisations are now beginning to queue up for urging that the Bill be dropped and public opinion is getting more strongly against it. Nigel Crisp, a moderniser in his time as head of the NHS under Blair, has called it a confused and confusing mess. Tower Hamlets Clinical Commissioning Group has broken ranks and written to Cameron urging him to drop the Bill. We have asked Sheffield CCG if it will follow.
All is still to play for even if time is getting tight. Take whatever action you can either via the links to 38 degrees at the top of this blog, or by taking part in events and demonstrating your opposition more publicly.
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
