A PUBLIC NHS – WE WILL: • Fight for a publicly funded NHS free at the point of use and end the creeping privatisation of its services.

• Make mental health a much higher priority with resources to match this status.

A FAIR ECONOMY – WE WILL:

alAN says ...

I have lived in Bolton South East for over 30 years, working previously in engineering and now in social care, and am well aware of the problems that we face.

I joined the Green Party because, like many of you, I felt that the main Parties did not represent ordinary people like us and I wanted to help bring about change. There is an alternative vision where people matter, and not just the interests of big business and the super-rich.

We need to secure a future for our children that will give them the opportunities they deserve in life. The banks need to be reformed, and the super-rich should pay their fair share in taxes. We need to renationalise our railways, and energy, and invest in energy efficiency programmes.

Locally I am involved in the campaign to defend Bolton’s Health Services, the campaigns against the bedroom tax and public service cuts, and the campaign against the use of ‘fracking’ which risks environmental contamination.
