VITAL PUBLIC MEETING IN WORTHING ON 21st OCTOBER: JOHN MCDONNELL MP & NHS LOGISTICS WORKERS SPEAK OUT AGAINST THREATENED HOSPITAL CLOSURES & NHS CUTS

Worthing KONP have organised an important meeting for anyone wanting to debate how we can best fight the proposed closure of our local hospitals, and of the threat to our entire National Health Service through cuts, closures, and privatisation.

Please email or call if you would like a copy of the meeting poster or leaflet to print out and put up in your local area!

The meeting takes place on Saturday 21st October at the Richmond Rooms, in Stoke Abbotts Road in central Worthing, from 2pm-4pm. Guest speakers include John McDonnell MP, a challenger to Tony Blair for Labour leadership who has consistently spoken out against his own government's plans to wreck the NHS. Also speaking will be a worker from NHS Logistics - currently taking strike action in a desperate attempt to prevent a large chunk of the NHS being sold off to private parcel firm DHL to make a profit from. In adddition, we will have Gill George, from the Executive of the Amicus trade union, and one of the founders of the national Keep Our NHS Public campaign. Last, but certainly not least, there will be Worthing Hospital staff and NHS professionals on hand to give accounts from the frontline of the devastating effects to patient care the threatened cuts and closures will have.

ALSO - On Sunday 22nd October, campaigners from across the region will meet to coordinate efforts to resist the threatened cuts and closures. Email or call us for details.
