We’ve given this campaign everything we have. But the struggle to save our NHS must grow if the NHS is to last another term of the Conservatives in office. The Conservatives have won the election. And there’s no questioning that this is devastating news for the NHS. But our message also reached a huge number of people, and all is not lost.
Now is the time to redouble our efforts, take to the streets and join the fightback.
Our Co-Chairs of Keep Our NHS Public, Tony O'Sullivan and John Puntis said:
We are truly proud of the campaign waged in defence of the NHS by Keep Our NHS Public, by Health Campaigns supporters and so many NHS staff, students and campaigners up and down the land. We have made a very real difference and have contributed to ensuring the NHS was high in voters minds. We are very disappointed at this election result. We believe the result could have been even more disappointing if we had not been so active. By challenging the lies of Boris Johnson, Matt Hancock and those who went before them we have highlighted the truth about the crisis in the NHS. Now we must deny Boris Johnson the way clear to continue his project, which includes trade talks with the US which will endanger the NHS in a US-UK trade deal post-Brexit. We now resolve to continue to campaign, lobby and fight to ensure that our voice is heard and our demands are met to fund the NHS fully and to return the NHS to 100% public duty and provision as soon as possible.
Now more than ever we need you, join, recruit, donate and volunteer with Keep Our NHS Public today. This will be the fight of our lives.
