#NHS999
The Tories are attacking our NHS too ...
David Cameron and George Osborne might not run NHS Scotland, but that doesn’t mean that they aren’t attacking it. We must fight to save it.
Devolution means they can’t run down and privatise our NHS directly, the way they are doing in England. But what they can do is starve it of resources. They are cutting back on the money provided to the Scottish Government and this puts the health budget under pressure.
In the last few weeks alone there have been reports of hospital understaffing, health visitors struggling to maintain a universal service and severe problems due to bed numbers going down.
NHS staff know from their day to day work that they are continually under pressure, having to do more with less - and they can see what managers are doing to try and meet targets.
So the Tories aren’t just attacking the NHS in England - they are attacking it everywhere. Everyone who wants to maintain the fairest and most cost-effective health service in the world needs to be part of the fight to defend the NHS.
From Wick to Weymouth our health service belongs to all of us. We all have a duty to stand up and tell the Tories that we won’t see it run down or sold off.
Join us in Manchester on 29 September in a mass rally for the NHS outside the Conservative Party conference.
