North Sussex and Surrey Trades Council launched a Coalition
to defend the NHS at a meeting on 06 July 2011.
Oliver Coxhead was elected as Chair
Derek Isaacs was elected as secretary.
David Isaacs was one of the first people to have his life saved by the new NHS in 1948. He had a playground accident
climbing the fence and was later taken to the hospital with an abcess which was growing inwards and would have
threatened his life.
However his mother didn't have to beg to a group of hard-nosed charity commissioners. The treatment was free for
the first time, so he was among the first of hundreds of thousands who owe their lives to the NHS.
People of sixty were old in 1948. The NHS has given us a new lease of life and that is why it is worthwhile for all of us
to defend it.
The government talks glibly about "reforms" of the NHS. In fact they propose to cut public provision and privatise
health care. The contents of your wallet will determine your treatment, not your medical need. You might as well say the German Air Force "reformed" Coventry.
The Coalition to defend the NHS will be meeting at St Johns Church Hall in central Crawley and the meetings will be advertised on the blog. http://crawleyagainstthecuts.blogspot.com/

It could be the fight of your life.
