We had a an eye-opening meeting on Thursday November 26th when we found out what is happening to the NHS  and the ways in which its principles have, and are, being undermined by successive governments. Following the showing of the DVD  about the NHS -‘The Sell Off’, which exposed some of the covert strategies which suggest that the NHS is being privatised by the back door, there was a lively discussion about how patients could try to rescue the NHS.
