[img_assist|nid=280|title=|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=100|height=41]In Hackney, NHS cuts are beginning to cause real harm to patient care. Cuts at the Homerton Hospital are escalating, with maternity beds axed, midwives facing redundancy, the specialist breast cancer nurse service cut, redundancy of nurses and therapists, cuts to rehabilitation care for patients who have had a stroke… Rationing of food and milk is so severe that women who have just given birth find themselves unable to have a cup of tea because the hospital can’t afford milk!

Invitation to the London Union Organisers' Network International women's day event Organising women - from past to present The Rugby Tavern 8 March 2007, 7pm till 12pm Great music, food, dance - all free - bring a friend! All welcome (men included)

We’ve had a small but significant victory locally, holding up an attempt to transfer yet another local GP surgery to the private sector. We will need to discuss how to build on this success.

Meet outside 100 Stoke Newington Church Street to leaflet and petition against the local GP surgery being handed over to the private sector.[img_assist|nid=280|title=|desc=|link=none|align=right|width=100|height=41]
