On its 60th anniversary, we call for a mass campaign to defend our health service

End big business profiteering out of the NHS! Abandon the Private Finance Initiative (PFI). No to private polyclinics replacing local GP surgeries.
Place all health services and buildings under public ownership. For a well-funded service, free at the point of use, to provide for everyone's health needs.
Abolish the business competition of 'internal market', trusts, and 'payment by results'.
End NHS job losses and low pay. Give health workers an above-inflation pay increase.
Nationalise the pharmaceutical and medical supply industries, and all private health providers, with compensation paid only on the basis of proven need. Bring them under working-class control and management.
For a socialist programme to end poverty and inequality - the biggest killers and causes of ill health.
