An emergency meeting has been
called to discuss what government changes in the NHS will mean to people in
Thanet.
The meeting has been called by
Save Our Health Service, a new campaigning group, which has been formed to
safeguard health services in Thanet.
Speakers will include Dr Ron
Singer, President of the Medical Practitioners Union, Peter Holloway, a medical
worker from the Medway and consultant psychiatrist Dr Dick
Symonds,
Local film-maker Christine Tongue,
who is a member of Save Our Health Service, said: “This is meeting comes at a
critical time for our local health services. The new Thanet Clinical
Commissioning Group which will take over control commissioning health services
here now claims to be consulting the public about their future
plans.
“This may mean big changes for the
future of QEQM
Hospital and the other
health services in our area. We have to understand what’s happening and organise
to give people in Thanet a real voice in the decisions that are being
made.
“Many fear that the changes will
mean increasing privatisation of the NHS, giving it over to outfits like Virgin
and American company. The only way we can stop that is we if start organising
now.”
The meeting is on Wednesday,
December 5 at 7.30pm at the Red Hall, 11 Grosvenor Road, Broadstairs CT10
2BT.
