Ealing Save Our NHS Plans Day of Action
Assembling this Saturday outside Ealing Hospital
Ealing Save Our NHS protestors outside Ealing Hospital
Health campaigners from Ealing Save Our NHS will be joined by community groups and local politicians this Saturday (26 February) for a protest rally outside Ealing Hospital.
It’s part of a national Day of Action called by SOS NHS, with over 80 events across the country.
Eve Turner, from campaign group Ealing Save Our NHS said, “Our NHS is in acute crisis with staff underpaid and exhausted - but still the Government has no plan to fill the 100,000 vacancies. Their only plan for the 6 million people on waiting lists is for more NHS money to go to the private hospital sector. Many GP surgeries are struggling to see patients and lack of beds is pushing up ambulance and A&E wait times. That’s why we’re supporting the call for emergency funding for the NHS now.”
Speakers at the rally, which commences at noon will include Dr Sonia Adesara, from Keep Our NHS Public, GLA member Dr Onkar Sahota, Southall MP Virendra Sharma and other members of the community.

We’ve always done that and won’t be changing, in fact we’d like to do more. However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them.
