Mtg room PACKED to fight to Defend Camden NHS






Thanks to everyone for the fighting spirit of the meeting last night about the plans in South Camden. It was packed to overflowing - sorry to those of you who had to stand or could not get in. This is just a quick note of what was agreed.

The meeting agreed to campaign against any threat of privatisation of local GPs, and to back GPs and patients if they opposed plans for a Polyclinic or GP led health centre at UCLH.

We agreed to demand proper consulation from the PCT including a public meeting for local people. The consultation should include other options to improve local services other than moving to UCLH.

Other suggestions made at the meeting, such as a referendum and a demonstration will be discussed at our next meeting which is:

Tuesday September 6.30pm in Somers Town Community Centre
, Ossulston Street, NW1 (down the side of the British Library- different venue because Town Hall not available).

We will be doing a stall at the Marchmont Community Festival this Saturday.
Meet at 1pm at the Marchmont Street entrance to the Brunswick centre.
