REAL DAYS OF ACTION WILL FOLLOW: Our first day of action will be on Saturday 26 February and will be organised by local groups and local branches of all our supporting organisations up and down the countryhttps://sosnhs.org/
| SOS NHS is a new coalition of campaign groups and trade unions which have three clear emergency demands of Government now to avoid the worst crisis in the NHS ever. Approve emergency funding of £20 billion to save lives this winterInvest in a fully publicly owned NHS & guarantee free healthcare for future generationsPay staff properly now: without fair pay, staffing shortages will cost live You can read more background to these demands here Our vision: The NHS needs emergency funds this winter, at least £20bn in the upcoming spring budget, if it is to tackle the soaring bills for backlog maintenance and reopen beds that are so urgently needed and pay staff properly to end the staff shortage crisis. We also need legislation and change at the top to re-establish a fully publicly funded and provided national health service, protected from private companies who put profit before patients. We need to maintain opposition to the dangerous Health and Care bill currently working its way through parliament, we need a national care service, and we need to make the NHS the default provider for health service provision. Read more on our vision and how we arrived at the figure |
| Who we are: SOS NHS is backed by nearly 30 different social movement campaigns and trade unions and our list is growing every day. You can find out who they are by visiting our home page.The SOS NHS action committee is made up of a core group of organisations and trade unions who are leading the direction of the initiative and doing the day-to-day tasks of running the campaign, these organisations include, Keep Our NHS Public, Health Campaigns Together, NHS Workers Say No, Unite the Union, GMB Union, Unison, We Own It. |

What are we seeking and why?
We are seeking a judicial review to stop Secretary of State for Health Jeremy Hunt and NHS England from introducing new commercial, non-NHS bodies to run health and social services without proper public consultation and without full Parliamentary scrutiny.
These non-NHS bodies would be called “Accountable Care Organisations” (“ACOs). They would be governed by company and contract law and can be given “full responsibility” for NHS and adult social services……. see more here

Virgin Care cherry picking NHS contracts
How Simon Stevens imposed a reorganisation designed for transnational capitalism on England’s NHS.
This case affects us all
The NHS must continue to provide comprehensive healthcare to everyone who needs it
The NHS must remain as a public service that provides the full range of health care to everyone who needs it, free at the point of use.
This is under threat.
Working with public law firm Leigh Day, 999 Call for the NHS intends to bring a judicial review of plans for new local NHS and Social Care organisations to operate what they call “fixed, pre-set population budgets”.
These budgets are supposed to cover an area’s population but they will be insufficient to meet the public need. These finance restrictions will force our NHS to behave like an insurance company.
This will decisively end the NHS as a comprehensive service for everyone who needs health care More Here
