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.
For background information refer to this Briefing Note from UNISON: Hinchingbrooke_April_2010
