UNISON survey
Health branch questionnaire on deficits, cuts and redundancies. As part of our Keep the NHS Working campaign, UNISON is gathering evidence to show the true extent of trusts' attempts to balance their books. Please help us to build a clearer picture by completing this short questionnaire. Questionnaire |
 Record investment and service modernisation have delivered real improvements in the services offered to patients - services which remain free at the point of use. But the introduction of competition and the increasing involvement of the private sector is putting our NHS at risk. The government's market style reforms have led to instability and financial debt, the closure of wards and job losses. NHS patients and staff share our concerns that more changes could undermine the quality of healthcare. UNISON is calling on the government to stop expanding the role of the private sector in the NHS, and to call a halt to unnecessary and untested reforms. We want a period of stability. We want to keep the NHS working.

NHS organisations across England are being forced to make cuts which affect patient services. Trusts have been told by the government that they have to achieve financial balance by the end of the year and are having to cut jobs and services in order to meet this target. We believe that there is another way for the NHS.What can I do?Join UNISON, contact your MP, and get active.< Back | More > |
