The Chair, Dr Gary Marlowe began the meeting by urging participants to support the action taken by junior doctors to maintain a safe NHS.
Speakers underlined huge threats to the NHS and democracy through NHS sell -off and TTIP international treaty, with corporates using every means possible to extract profits
Professor Allyson Pollock and Peter Roderick, authors of the NHS Bill which aims to abolish the marketplace in healthcare, and Linda Kaucher, expert on TTIP [Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership] all demonstrated the huge threats to our NHS and other public services at this time. This well-attended public meeting was organised jointly by Hackney Keep Our NHS Public and Hackney 38 Degrees' NO TIPP . The three speakers showed how the corporates are using every means possible to extract profit from the NHS, money that is sorely needed to provide our healthcare. Linda Kaucher also explained how our infrastructure is already open to being bought up by any international corporation, and how TTIP, and CETA [Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement], international trades deals that are being developed in secret between US, Canada and EU, will enable corporations to remove key standards and environmental regulations. These standards include labour rights, food safety rules (including restrictions on GMOs), control of toxic chemicals, digital privacy laws and even new banking safeguards. The stakes, speakers said, could not be higher. They urged people to campaign with organisations such as:
