    Over 55,000 people demonstrated in Manchester to protest cuts to the NHS, nearly double what was expected, showing class anger towards the government. A court ruled against government plans to slash maternity and A&E services at a London hospital, showing that mass campaigns can be successful. The document calls on trade unions to coordinate strikes this fall to remove the Conservative-led government and resist further NHS cuts.

    Cuts push NHS to crisis point

    STRIKE TO SAVE OUR NHS


    55,000 people took part in the demo in Manchester, nearly twice what the TUC expected. It was a spirited and an impressive show of force. You could sense the class anger at the government. We call on trade union leaders to coordinate their strikes this autumn to drive out the Tories and for health unions to produce a plan of action so that the ConDems cannot destroy the NHS. The High Court quashed the governments decision to slash Maternity and A&E services at Lewisham Hospital and upheld that decision following an appeal from Hunt to cause him more embarrassment. This shows that mass campaigns can win. Local opposition was given as one of the reasons for the ruling. Across London and the rest of the country, campaigners should take heart in this victory, and we should continue the fight to oppose more cuts.
