We call on Islington Clinical Commissioning Group, who make the key budget decisions for the NHS in Islington, to stand up for the right of local people to have an NHS that meets their needs, rather than going along with government cuts. In particular
- No more sale of NHS assets to private developers to pay off deficits caused by under-funding. Use spare land and property for NHS or other public services
- Stop narrowing the scope of the NHS by blocking referrals for some treatments from GPs, or by forcing GPs to make their patients wait even longer
- Stop pretending that everything is ok and instead make it clear to the public that cuts are happening because of inadequate government funding
