Southwark Action Alerts 24th November 2015
Southwark Council plans to cut 73% of the youth service budget and effectively end council run youth services as we know them. The council has reneged on its promise to protect frontline services. Please join the lobby on Wednesday (details below and attached).
After the historic vote by BMA members, 98% for strike action over cuts to their salaries and increased hours, junior doctors are asking you to support their action next Tuesday. Come along to your nearest hospital between 8am and 12noon. King’s College Hospital doctors ask you to come between 8am and midday and bring others with you. (See 1 December below for more info.)
