NHS Demonstration and Vigil on Health Bill

Click on image to enlarge
Brent Fightback will be supporting an urgent call for action as the government try to push the Health Bill through parliament. There will be a demonstration and march from St Thomas Hospital, Lambeth Palace Road to Parliament, assembling at the hospital at 6.30pm and then a Torchlight Vigil outside Parliament at 9.30pm. MAP If you can help with leafleting for the demonstrations please meet at the cafe just inside the main entrance of Central Middlesex hospital at noon tomorrow (Monday).

See below for legal advice that proves we are right to be concerned that the Bill still threatens the very existence of the National Health Service and important information about how you can help.

We can make a real difference as some Liberal Democrats threaten a rebellion. Meanwhile the government tries to hold the line and submits a deluge of name change amendments.

Legal advice shows we are right
Independent legal advice with funding from 38 degrees shows our concerns about the future of the NHS are right- see more information here:

How lobbying a Lord can make a difference
If the Bill is passed in the commons next week it will then pass to the Lords. Lords are not used to being lobbied so we need to show them how it’s done! Take the time to lobby one here:

Shirley Williams has said she will take account of the size of her post bag so you might want to email or write to her! Ruth Rendell speaks out here: http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2011/aug/30/ruth-rendell-attacks-public-spending-cuts
