    In 3 sentences: Cuts to the NHS by the Conservative government have already led to the loss of thousands of nursing jobs in England. A large demonstration in Manchester protested these cuts and called on trade union leaders to coordinate strikes to force the Tories out of office. Additionally, a court decision blocked cuts to maternity and emergency services at a London hospital, showing that mass campaigns can be successful in preventing cuts and giving hope to other campaigns fighting healthcare cuts.

    NHS CUTS WILL CAUSE A DEADLY WINTER

    STRIKE TO SAVE OUR NHS


    55,000 people took part in the TUC demo at the Tory party conference in Manchester in September. It was a spirited and an impressive show of force. You could sense the class anger at the government. The Tories have cut the equivalent of 3,859 full-time nurses, midwives and health visitors in England alone since they got into office. We call on trade union leaders to coordinate strikes to drive out the Tories.

    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.
