NHS not Trident block on Leeds march for NHS
14th April 2018 @ 11:30 am - 2:00 pm

Y&H regional march for the NHS – Leeds Saturday 14 April:
- With our drastically and deliberately underfunded NHS crashing into the buffers this winter and getting headlines in the press
- NHS England ploughing ahead with plans to break up the NHS into yet more bite sized pieces on a plate for private firms, currently known as Accountable Care Organisations – but watch the name change as the ACO brand is seen as too US and toxic
- two Judicial Reviews initiated by campaigners (one to be heard in Leeds on 24th April) challenging the legality of Accountable Care Organisations
- Yorkshire Hospitals rushing ahead to outsource Facilities staff
- More cuts, closures and rationing
- A continued cap on NHS pay, almost 100,000 vacant posts and demoralised, exhausted staff leaving the NHS altogether
11.30 Assemble in Victoria Gardens, outside Leeds Art Gallery
12.15 March sets off, led by the wonderful PCS Samba Band
1/1.15 Marchers should be returning to Victoria Gardens for short rally
2pm Finish
All welcome – help save our NHS!
