NHS staff to lead campaigners in protest against Tory sell-off
NHS staff will join campaigners and the public tomorrow to highlight the risks the health service faces under a Tory government.
The protest aims to send a clear message to the public that the Conservatives are not trusted on the NHS and will urge the next government to return the service to the protected status of a publicly owned and provided healthcare system.
Over a million people have signed an online petition entitled “Keep our NHS out of US trade deals.”
