NHS Direct U-turn - unions and public acting together

Over forty UNISON NHS Direct Reps from across England meet at UNISON Headquarters yesterday and reiterated their determination to remain vigilant on the future of NHS Direct after the Governments U turn.

They agreed to urge trade unionists and unison members specifically to sign the Save NHS Direct petition

The UNISON representatives at NHS Direct also repeated their gratitude to trade unionists and the wider public for their continued support

"We also hope our campaign will offer a degree of reassurance to those in the public sector fighting cuts, to know that the public can be harnessed in as effectively to oppose cuts."
