# 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:

julie says ...

As a family support worker I see the reality of what ‘austerity’ does to people who are vulnerable. As an NHS trained nurse, I have watched as the government flogged off our NHS to Tory donors. Patients suffer on waiting lists, and NHS staff struggle to care on insufficient resources.

Decent hardworking people are falling on hard times, losing jobs then finding contracts that don’t pay their housing costs or ending up homeless.

Banks are bailed out to the tune of billions, and taxpayers fund multinational companies to pay low wages and make huge profits, through the tax credit system, whilst not paying their fair share in taxes.

We need companies to pay realistic wages, and to support smaller businesses to boost local economies. We need change!
