RAIL workers called yesterday for action to be taken against the downgrading and privatisation of the NHS.
A motion at the TSSA union annual conference noted that the creeping privatisation in the NHS threatens its “free at point of use” ethos.
Gill Murdoch of Yorkshire North branch called on a future Labour government to “restore the NHS to its founding principles of a public service committed to the provision of healthcare and untainted by the drive to maximise profits.”
Ms Murdoch questioned whether the likes of Richard Branson really wanted to run health clinics because they believe they can do it better than the NHS.
“Over the past two years, £11 billion worth of the NHS has been put up for sale with 35,000 staff axed.
“One third of NHS walk-in centres have closed and 10 per cent of A&Es have shut,” said Murdoch.
