NHS staff, union activists and campaigners from more than 40 different organisations will stage a day of action today (Saturday) to demand an injection of billions of pounds into the health service.
Campaigners, including those from Keep Our NHS Public, Health Campaigns Together and NHS Workers Say No, will join frontline NHS staff at more than 70 locations in England and Scotland.
The alliance is campaigning against private companies in the health service and is calling for fair pay for all NHS staff.
