Dave Prentis UNISON General Secretary said: “The Government is a lone voice for NHS privatisation and by turning their back on the electorate, they are turning the clocks back on health care across the UK. Nye Bevan provides us with this inspirational quote - “The NHS will last as long as there are folks left with the faith to fight for it” – and we are ready to fight tooth and nail for it.”

UNISON members will be taking action across the country and details of local events can be found here:
