Wandsworth Conservatives

Stop Brown's NHS Cuts

David Cameron's Conservatives are backing a new, national campaign to underline our support for the staff of our NHS and the patients they serve. The NHS ended the last financial year with deficits amounting to £1.3 billion.

Gordon Brown has now ordered drastic and short-sighted NHS cuts. We want everyone to show their support for the NHS and those who work in it by signing our petition calling on Gordon Brown to end his financial mismanagement of the NHS – and Stop Brown's NHS Cuts.

This issue is very relevant for the Wandsworth area as Battersea's community hospital, the Bolingbroke, faces closure as part of the cuts. Closing this facility will not only deny local residents an important frontline service, but will put pressure on other local services and bring about redundancies. Since Gordon Brown has already put 20,000 health workers out of jobs (costing millions in redundancy payouts), Wandsworth Conservatives are strongly against this action.
