British Pakistani Christian Association Joins march to salvage our NHS

The British Pakistani Christian Association is encouraging UK Pakistani Christians and other faiths to join a protest to stop the Privatisation of the NHS. The event is organised by a collaboration of faith groups and political pressure groups and has come about due to the Equity and Excellence - Liberating the NHS Bill, that seeks to hand over the NHS into the hands of Private Doctor consortiums.

It is a responsibility on all Christians to protect the vulnerable and the track record of the NHS is one that has had a positive affect on this country, increasing life expectancy and providing helathcare at time of need.

The event will start at Hyde Park and end up at 10 Downing Street.

Date: 26th February 2011
Start Time: 12:00
Location: North Carriage Drive entrance to Hyde Park
End time: 14:30 at 10 Downing Street

Speakers include:

Derek Wall - Former Principal of the Green Party
Romayne Phoenix - Chair of Coalition of Resistance
Bob Archer - NUT
Barry Cross - Keep Our NHS Public
Upkar Rai - British Sikh Council
Wilson Chowdhry - British Pakistani Christian Association
