An unprecedented coalition of London residents, medical staff, trade unions & health campaigners have come together against the biggest attack on our NHS for a generation. Closures planned across the capital include nine A&Es, a number of maternity units and thousands of hospital beds that we believe will put lives at risk.

Hospitals and community services are also threatened with take-over by multi-national private companies. Hundreds of thousands of London residents have pledged their opposition to these privatisation plans for the NHS. Across the capital, tens of thousands have protested, signed
petitions, and campaigned against the closures. We have joined together to undermine the government’s divisive tactics of playing one hospital off against another. We demand the government provide the funding needed for safe levels of care across the capital.

Our all-London demonstration is backed by Save Lewisham Hospital Campaign, Defend Whittington Hospital Coalition, Save our Hospitals Ealing, Save Hammersmith & Charing Cross Hospitals, Unite the Union, Andy Slaughter MP, Steve Pound MP, Onkar Sahota (GLA), Brent Fightback,Kensington & Chelsea Residents Save Our Hospital, Ealing Trades Union Council NHS Campaign,Ealing Southall CLP, Kingston Trades Council, Kingston and Surbiton Green Party, Kingston Keep Our NHS Public, Kingston GMB, We Are Waltham Forest Defending Our NHS, Camden Keep Our NHS Public, Tower Hamlets Keep Our NHS Public
