The DWHC is sponsoring a coach to take supporters from North London to a national demo at Huntingdon. This is a significant event because this entire hospital is at risk of privatisation. Speakers will include John Lister, Jerry Hicks, local campaigners Jonathan Salt, Independent councillor for St. Ives and Martin Booth from UNISON, Mary Cooke from Pensioners Association.
Return journey will cost £8 (waged) or £4 (unwaged). Please contact DWHC if you are interested in attending this day out.

WHAT WE STAND FOR:
* We are opposed to the rundown, closure or privatisation of all hospitals and hospital departments and any other key health services.
* We want to stop the sell-off of our NHS, or bits of it, to private corporations.
* We call for the repeal of the Health and Social Care Act - the government measure which opened the way for big private companies to take over our hospitals and health services and shut them down if they don't make enough profit.
* We call for full funding of our NHS to meet our health needs, free at the point of delivery.
* We want to see a fully funded mental health service that meets the varying mental health needs of our community, in residential or community-based settings.
* We are proud of our caring staff at the Hospital, and welcome the diversity of the staff.
