The NHS urgently needs our support!<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

NHS workers are under the worst pressure ever, with beds at full capacity, huge waiting lists, staff shortages, and an insulting 3% pay offer for workers facing 7.1% inflation (and rising) has added to the demoralisation.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
However, despite all the pressure and lack of resources NHS workers are still doing a fantastic job caring for us on the Covid wards and stepping up to help ensure that the booster vaccines get out to as many people as possible.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
But coupled with the sheer exhaustion of 2 years of caring for Covid patients, it is no surprise that over 27,000 NHS staff left the service just in the last 3 months of 2021.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
Hard as it will be, we need to make the Government urgently fund the NHS<\/strong> and that is why \u2018Keep Our NHS Public\u2019 and \u2018Health Campaigns Together\u2019 have launched a new campaign called \u2018SOS NHS\u2019.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n\n
If you want to get more involved in campaigning to save our NHS please support the new campaign and come to our AGM on Tuesday 18th January.<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Wednesday 19th January SOS NHS RALLY – EMERGENCY FUNDING NOW !<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
SOS NHS<\/strong> is a new coalition of campaign groups and trade unions which are demanding emergency funding for the NHS to support services and staff and not the private sector.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
This is the hardest winter ever in health and social care for a generation and that\u2019s why SOS NHS believes we must act now to save staff morale, avoid a mental health crisis among health and care staff and safeguard services for patients and service users.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s three demands are –<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
