Protests in Nuneaton
OVER 300 people demonstrated against proposed hospital cuts in
Nuneaton on 17 August. The Acute Services Review wants to transfer some
emergency care along with children's and maternity services from
Nuneaton to the new PFI hospital in Coventry.
Lindsay Currie
Angry local residents are determined to fight these plans. They worry
that in the long term all services will be transferred to Coventry to
provide the financial resources for the over-budget PFI hospital.
Speakers at the rally included two Coventry Socialist Party
councillors Dave Nellist and Rob Windsor as well as nurses and union
representatives.
Further local action is planned. And health protests continue to
spread with another set for nearby Hinckley, in Leicestershire, on 16
September.
