The party has been formed by a group of like-minded healthcare professionals, who strongly support the original principles of the NHS and are shocked by the failure of the democratic process as demonstrated by the appearance and the passage through parliament of the Health and Social Care Act. The co-leaders are Dr Richard Taylor who was previously independent MP for Kidderminster, elected to save the local hospital and Dr Clive Peedell from Darlington who has spoken for us in Sheffield.
The National Health Action party aims to be for all people who value the NHS not just healthcare professionals. It has monthly subscription or free associate membership.
The party will be campaigning for the NHS and will also stand candidates in selected seats for both Parliamentary and Council elections.
At present Sheffield Save Our NHS has no formal links to the National Health Action Party although we are affiliated to Keep Our NHS Public and Sheffield Anti Cuts Alliance.
There will probably be a lively debate about whether to stand a National Health Action candidate in Sheffield Hallam.
