About the campaign
NHS Together is a campaign alliance which brings together all of the health service unions and staff associations together with the TUC. Our campaign aims to raise the alarm about what is happening to the NHS and to press the government for honest and open discussion about its reform agenda.
In recent years the NHS has seen real progress thanks to increased investment and the dedication and commitment of NHS workers to new and improved ways of working.
But that progress is under threat from government policy which seeks to impose market-based reforms on the NHS and an ever increasing role for the private sector. NHS Together believes these reforms will fragment health care services and threaten the NHS values that bind it together. They will also be hugely wasteful at a time of unprecedented pressure on public spending.
The National Health Service is the bedrock of our society and the NHS Together campaign will do all it can to protect and defend it.
