HEALTH campaigners are uniting today to demand better pay for heroic front-line NHS workers as they celebrate the much-loved service’s 73rd anniversary.
Protests sprung up at the weekend in over 60 locations across England, Scotland and Wales to highlight the threats to patient safety caused by understaffing and underfunding, as well as demanding pay justice for staff and an end to privatisation.
Keep Our NHS Public, which organised one of the many protests, co-chairman Dr Tony O’Sullivan warned that the government was undermining the NHS’s founding principle of free healthcare by handing over services to privateers.
“[On the anniversary] we thank the NHS and its staff, we demand funding for a safe NHS, fair pay and respect for staff and an end to the privatisation of services,” he said.
