Rally calls for funding boost for the NHS

Patients, healthworkers and members of the public joined a lunchtime protest at Liverpool Royal Hospital on Friday (2 February) to show support for the NHS. 

UNISON activists and members joined the ‘Rally at the Royal’ along with campaign groups Health Campaigns Together and Keep Our NHS Public Merseyside.

Local Labour MP's Stephen Twigg, Louise Ellman and Luciana Berger were all in attendance.

The demonstration called for more funding for the NHS, a pay rise for staff, and an end to cuts and privatisation.
