NHS campaign guest speaker on 14 Feb

Our next meeting is a committee meeting, but all members are welcome - especially as we have a guest speaker to the meeting.

Details:
  • Thursday 14 February
  • 11.00am coffee & chat - 11.30am start. Please arrive before the start time.
  • Lilian Urmston room, PCS office, Jack Jones House, Liverpool
Our guest speaker is Ann Dean of Health Campaigns Together.

She says: "I retired in 2014 after 42 years working in Hospital Laboratories. I got involved with Merseyside Keep Our NHS Public and the Save Liverpool Womens Hospital. Merseyside KONP was affiliated to Health Campaigns Together, an alliance of organisations campaigning to defend NHS services and oppose cuts and privatisation and PFI and including trades union organisations at all levels. I also got involved with Merseyside Pensioners Association..

"The Health Campaigns Together newspaper has been produced quarterly since January 2016, it remains free online, and bundles are bought by affiliates to distribute free. The HCT Conference held in November 2017 at Hammersmith was attended by about 400 campaigners. After Dot Gibson from the National Pensioners Convention had pushed for some space to discuss social care, a workshop was held which packed out the small room allocated - from that the Reclaim Social Campaign began ... to be continued."
