Covid in Leeds: Hospitals in city treating 30 per cent more patients for virus after rise in cases
Attendee Tim Knight said:"I remember my grandparents telling me about what life was like before the NHS, and how even a minor illness could be absolutely debilitating back then. We come from a poor family and we couldn't afford private medical care, nobody could. We're kind of drifting back to that now.
"The NHS has been privatised bit-by-bit and we need to stand up for it. It's absolutely brilliant seeing people come out and we just need to see more and more, we need to encourage more people to get involved. We need to defend it at all costs." Fellow attendee Lisa Clayforth added:"I think healthcare should be a basic right for everybody, I don't think it should be determined by your bank balance.
"If anybody is ill in any way, shape or form, whether it's physical or mental illness, they should be able to get help. It is encouraging seeing people turning up to fight for the NHS."
Celebration of what? A huge organisation that is not fit for purpose and wastes millions of tax payers money! The whole thing needs a massive restructuring… too many chiefs and not enough Indians!
