National Demonstration to Celebrate the NHS

Tuesday, August 21, 2007 at 01:45PM

UNISON has called a national demonstration in London on Saturday November 3rd.

This will be a chance for health workers, local government workers and users of the health service to show this government that we are proud of our National Health Service. We are proud that it is publicly owned and is free at the point of use and we intend to make sure it stays that way.

Surrey County Branch of UNISON is committed to defending the NHS and to campaigning against privatisation, cuts and closures. We have been fully involved in all the local NHS campaigns - including Epsom, St. Peter's, Ashford and the Royal Surrey campaigns. Through 'NHS Together' - an alliance of trade unions and local campaigns, we helped organised and build for rallies in Epsom, Chertsey, Guildford and Woking.

We will be organising to get as many Surrey UNISON members and service users to the demonstration on the 3rd as possible. If you are interested in coming along with the Surrey County UNISON contingent please contact us using the contact details on this page.

Paul Couchman, Acting Branch Secretary
