Pictures from the NHS Rally – 11 March 2016

On Friday 11 March 2016 the NHS Bill went to Parliament. Before the debate we held a lively handover ceremony for the petition outside the Department of Health, with Caroline Lucas MP, alongside NHS campaigners and junior doctors.

Action then moved to a rally outside the House of Commons. Labour MPs Rachael Maskell and Grahame Morris came to show their support, and speakers from Unite, Doctors for the NHS, Keep our NHS Public and many local NHS campaign groups and junior doctors addressed the spirited crowd.

You can read what happened inside the House of Commons here, while the pictures below give a flavour of the day.

To show your support for the NHS Bill, please sign our petition. The campaign continues.
