Salford City Labour Party is urging everyone to back the pensioners’ campaign to defend health services.
An afternoon ‘Defend the NHS’ rally will take place at the Unite union offices next Friday (May 20) at Salford Quays.
The rally, organised by the Unite Greater Manchester Pensioners, will be addressed by Manchester Central MP Tony Lloyd. The meeting will be chaired by ex-Salford Labour Mayor Bill Moores.
Cllr John Warmisham, Labour health spokesman on Salford Council, said: “It is vital that everyone takes every opportunity to get home the message that the NHS is not for sale.
“The Tory-led Government promised no more top-down reform of the health service and have put in place the biggest and costliest pro-market reform ever.
“The Tory right make no secret of their wish to see an American-style health service where the credit cards in your pocket are checked before you health.
“Next Friday is an opportunity for Salford people to make their views known and to join with others who share their passion for our health service.”
The rally starts at 1.45pm and is due to end at 4pm.
