All Together for the NHS Day - Friday 1st April
All Together for the NHS is a joint campaign co-ordinated by the TUC, bringing together unions and campaigners from across the health sector and working closely with other campaigners and patients groups to expose the dangers posed by the Health and Social Care Bill.
Friday, 1st April will be "All Together for the NHS day" with health workers and service users getting together to raise the profile of the issues and concerns relating to the Health & Social Care Bill, through events all over the country. We want to see local activity including:
- Workplace meetings
- Open public meetings about the reforms and cuts
- Invitations to MPs to attend your meetings
- Community meetings/stalls
- Petitions
- Visits to MPs in Constituencies
Please discuss and plan how you can organise an event with the other Unions within your Staff Side - and talk to your members to get everyone involved.
Sign up at the Facebook event page to follow the plans for the day and get in touch with other campaigners. And if you’re a twitter person, the hashtag to use is #1AprilNHSday.
If you are organising an event please upload it onto the False Economy website http://falseeconomy.org.uk/campaigns/addeve.
False Economy will feature all the events, so if you are looking to find out what is happening in your local area then keep an eye on the site. If you missed False Economy’s excellent expose of the scale of job losses already hitting the NHS it is essential reading.
The health unions working together on the campaign have agreed a set of simple messages that you might find useful in marshalling your arguments.
If you need any support with campaign activities please contact your Regional Officer and don't forget to let us know what you're planning.
Many thanks for your support.
Regards
Sally Kosky - National Officer |
