London, UK. 28th January, 2017. Paula Peters of DPAC speaks at the rally at the Dept of Health about the impact of cuts and STPs on the disabled. The Sustainability and Transformation Plans (STPs) being imposed on the NHS are a cut of £22 billion in funding of an already overstretched service that is rapidly being privatised and where many are now refused the treatment they need on purely financial grounds.

London, UK. 28th January 2017. Paula Peters of DPAC speaks at the rally at the Dept of Health about the impact of cuts and STPs on the disabled. The Sustainability and Transformation Plans (STPs) being imposed on the NHS are a cut of £22 billion in funding of an already overstretched service that is rapidly being privatised and where many are now refused the treatment they need on purely financial grounds. STPs will cut services, reduce quality, cut social care and increase health inequalities. The protesters called on MPs, NHS England and minister Jeremy Hunt to restore the NHS which is several times more cost-effective than the US model which our current government is introducing by stealth.
