GLOUCESTERSHIRE campaigners are set to march on parliament as part of a national NHS protest.
About 100 people from Gloucestershire will take coaches from Stroud, Gloucester and Cheltenham on Saturday, March 4 to the ‘It’s Our NHS’ demonstration organised by Health Campaigns Together and The People’s Assembly Against Austerity.
The demonstration in London starts at 12pm and a stall will also be running in Kings Street, Stroud, from 11am until 1pm, with a photo call at 12pm to coincide with the start of the demonstration in the capital.
James Beecher, of Stroud Against the Cuts, said: “We hope people will join us on the coach to London or at our stall on Kings Street at 12noon to show their support for a publicly-funded, publicly-owned NHS providing comprehensive, universal care on the basis of need, not ability to pay, and to demonstrate their opposition to this government’s policies.
