Protest to keep the NHS in public hands

17 February 2009

This week Valentine Day protests against privatisation of the NHS were organised by Keep Our NHS Public (KONP). 12 groups of KONP across the country took part. For example:


  • In Birmingham there was a demonstration against the planned closure of the Blood Transfusion Centre.

  • In Camden, the KONP group handed in a petition signed by 2,000 people to the PCT against privatisation of the NHS.

  • Online is a report in today's Southend Evening Echo of Southend KONP's Valentine Day protest.
