Protest: protect our NHS in Bristol!
31st May 2019 - 12:30 PM - 2:00 PM
Adult community services in Bristol, North Somerset & South Gloucestershire (BNSSG) are up for grabs!
A ten-year contract amounting to over £1 billion is about to awarded to provide these essential health services, including those which focus on diabetes, learning disabilities and Parkinson’s disease among others. We do not know who is bidding for this: it could be NHS services, community ventures or private companies like Virgin Care seeking to profit from patients’ ill health and support needs.
Come along on Friday 31 May and join us in protesting the secrecy of the tendering process and the risk that these vital duties of care will be outsourced to profit-making, poor-performing firms in the private sector!
Please come along, with your own banner if you can pointing out the secrecy involved, making it clear to local residents that these decisions are taking place, asking the Clinical Commissiniong Group who the bidders are, and pointing to the danger of a privatisation of the service. We will have leaflets to hand out and our general PONHS banners and information.
