There was a really good celebration and protest outside Ealing Hospital at the NHS 73rd Birthday on Saturday 3rd July 2021.

The event was organised by Ealing Save our NHS and around 60 people attended despite the rain. There was an almost constant beeps of support from passing cars and buses too.

The event was to celebrate the 73rd Birthday of the NHS which is admired throughout the world.

It was also to support NHS workers around the country who have been incensed by the insulting 1% pay offer, after the huge sacrifices they have made, working round the clock and covering for the thousands of vacancies caused by the underfunding of the NHS by the Government.

There were over 70 similar events around the country as part of a NHS Day of Action for pay justice, funding the NHS and ending privatisation, organised by 'Keep Our NHS Public', 'Health Campaigns Together', 'NHS Staff Voices' and 'NHS Workers say No'.

The attendees listened to some really good speeches, ate delicious homemade cakes, had a few chants and gave out leaflets.

Ealing Save Our NHS worked with Ealing TUC and had the support of MPs Virendra Sharma, Rupa Huq and GLA member Dr Onkar Sahota.

There was a good turnout from all the loyal campaigners and supporters. They were also joined by Dr Mona Kamal of NHS Voices, GMB Medirest Rep Binrajah, Ealing Reclaim Social Care Action Group, local Councillors, Southall Community Alliance, Stand Up to Racism and the Green Party.

The aim of the event was to show that we "Love Our NHS and Ealing Hospital" and want them properly funded and we want a decent pay rise for our brilliant NHS Staff.
