Our aims

Our main aims and objectives are:

Nationally

* To oppose PFI schemes, which are essentially mortgaging the future of the NHS

* To campaign against privatisation within the NHS and promote a health service

  in which care is genuinely free at the point of need.

* To oppose the negative health policies of the current government, and advocate

  alternative methods of funding to the "payment by results" system.

* To unite various local protests into a major national campaign to save our NHS.

  To this end we are keen to provide support to campaigns across the country.

* To promote patient rights - in particular to receive the best possible care as locally as

  possible.

Locally

* To encourage people to become involved in local anti-cuts campaigns.

* To inform and educate the public about the realities currently being experienced

  within the NHS.

* To oppose any unnecessary cuts that would compromise the provision of

  local healthcare.

Political parties

* Although we have differences in outlook, as much as possible we aim to work and

  co-operate with other political groups and trade unions to achieve the above aims.
