We will be discussing the next steps for the 11 unions in the health service, who have taken strike action this week in defence of pay and conditions.
How can trade unionists and socialists extend the campaign to defeat privatisation in the NHS, to improve wages and working hours and bring about investment in the NHS?
The Socialist Party calls for an end to PFI ("Profit From Illness" as Dave Nellist has called it) contracts in the NHS, and to kick out private business from our health service altogether.
