Greens Support NHS Strikes

James Vessey-Miller — Tue, 20 Dec 2022 15:43:24 +0000

Today the South East Essex Green Party joined other local campaigners on the Green outside Southend Hospital today to show solidarity with striking health workers.

This unprecedented NHS industrial action is happening as a last resort and as a direct consequence of our essential workers being overworked and underpaid by successive governments.

It is unsafe and unfair to subject our frontline workers, who do such an amazing and thankless job, to such relentless pressures and exploitation. None of our medical professionals should ever have to contend with in-work poverty.

The Green Party proudly stands with striking workers.

We say; You clapped them, now pay them.

United against cancer unit move

The proposal to move the specialist urology cancer unit to Colchester has at least served to unite our corner of Essex on one topic – we all oppose it.

What is astonishing, however, is the scale of denial among the Lib Dem and Conservative administration spokesmen.

Do they not realise by putting the NHS under so much financial strain, a whole series of economies have been forced upon the service?

Greens argue the pretence and denial must stop.

Virtually everyone knows the NHS needs billions more in revenue and taxes have to rise to pay for it.

We Greens won’t shirk our responsibilities to the NHS. We will raise taxes on the rich, introduce an NHS Reinstatement Bill to Parliament and save essential services liek the urology unit.
