Sell-Off: The Abolition of Your NHS imgID12755281

This hard-hitting documentary by Peter Bach tells the story of how corporate interests rather than patient care is driving reform in today’s NHS and how the health service as we know it has been quietly abolished. Worse, the British media are failing to tell us.

Almost without our noticing, our NHS has been replaced by a system modelled on the US in which care is delivered by profit-maximising companies that charge patients for treatment which will be restricted and reduced. You’ll hear from those inside the NHS: One professor, two consultant radiologists, a cancer expert, a public interest lawyer, and several outspoken GPs. What they all say will be shocking, unusual and brave. The doctors strike back!

Following the film, there will be some speakers who will explain what’s happening to our health services locally and what you can do. This is your chance to get together with local people, share information and help each other.
