Nottingham City NHS and the cuts – a healthworker speaks out

Nottingham City NHS and the cuts – a healthworker speaks out

Nottingham City NHS and the cuts – a healthworker speaks out

Source: Notts Black Arrow – Nottingham & Nottinghamshire AF group’s blog

The below is something a member of Nottingham AF wrote for the Notts SOS blog giving an outline of what is happening locally within his workplace, the local NHS community healthcare services.

A Nottingham NHS worker speaks frankly about his, his workmates’, and his family and friends’ situations under the continuing threat of cuts that will no doubt be familiar to many others, and urges everyone to get involved with Notts SOS.

I work in one of the support services within the Nottingham NHS Citihealth organisation. We provide community health services to the Nottingham area. We have heard the current government promise to ring fence frontline health spending, however the reality on the ground is somewhat different.

Guilty of being foreign

Guilty of being foreign

26 October 2009
Posted by AFed

In a case that clearly exposes the vicious cruelty and insanity of borders and nationalism, a trainee radiologist has been jailed for 19 months for the “crime” of not being from England. Felista Peters, a 28-year-old resident of Bristol, was close to graduating when she was arrested after it was found that she had false documents and was actually from Kenya. If she’d been born in this country, she could now be working as a radiologist and helping to save lives, but because she committed the crime of being born elsewhere, she’s been imprisoned, so her skills are of no use to anyone. She will be deported on completion of her jail term. Even viewed from the narrowly selfish perspective of the “national interest”, whatever that is, it’s impossible to see how our society benefits more from locking this woman up and then flying her out of the country than it does from allowing her to practice medicine; from any vaguely humanist viewpoint, the punishment for this victimless offence is even more inexplicable.

The noisy, controversial and increasingly confrontational ‘debate’ in the USA over the Obama administration’s proposed healthcare reforms has received a good deal of attention in the UK, especially after a series of speeches, articles, email circulars and TV ads began making outlandish claims about both the contents of the proposals and the UK NHS, which is supposedly about to be emulated in the US.

As anarchist communists we fight for a world without leaders, where power is shared equally amongst communities, and people are free to reach their full potential. We do this by supporting working class resistance to exploitation and oppression, organise alongside our neighbours and workmates, host informative events, and produce publications that help make sense of the world around us.
