NHS Together
On the 25th October we will, together with 15 other NHS unions and staff associations, be lobbying Members of Parliament about over our concerns that improvements made in the health service are being jeopardised.

We will be raising with them our concern about:

the creeping privatisation of vital health services
the pace of introduction of untried and untested reforms
the failure to adequately consult us, health service employees, the deliverers of change
cuts being made to key services and jobs as a result of Trust deficits

Details of how you can attend register to attend available from your regional officer. Please be aware that numbers permitted for a lobby of Parliament are limited so places will be awarded on a first come, first serve basis. If you are unable to attend the lobby we will be asking you to make an appointment to meet with your MP in your constituency.

Please look out for further news and updates on the campaign through Reps Direct and Health World. You can also visit the NHS Together website: www.nhstogether.org.uk .

If you have any question arising from this edition of Reps Direct please contact your Regional Officer.
