NHS 63 today - Don't let the Con Dems destroy it

It is 63 years today since the NHS was founded. #NHS63 It's even more important to mark the birthday of Britain's most popular institution this year, as we face the potential dismantling of the NHS in the form of Andrew Lansley's Health and Social Care Bill. http://falseeconomy.org.uk/nhsThe coalition government’s proposals will put everyone at risk. Including you. Don’t be fooled. Even after “listening”, the government’s legislation would let private companies grab any part of the NHS, putting profits before patients.

Now is the time to stop them, to make sure that the NHS will still be in good shape when it’s 64. http://www.unison.org.uk/NHS63/
