NHS in Ealing

Forwarding this message from 38 Degrees:This Wednesday could be an important day for the future of the NHS in Ealing. 38 Degrees members are getting together to decide what's next in the campaign to protect local health services. Could you come along?The details of the get-together are:19:00 - 20:00, Wednesday 5th DecemberSilva Cafe148 The BroadwayWest EalingHanwellW13 0TLDirections:"Silva Cafe (Caribbean & Latin American Cuisine) is on the Broadway which is a bit of Uxbridge Rd. It is about 10 blocks west of Northfields, just a little further west from West Ealing Library & Sainsbury's. Buses 207, 83 and E8 all run pass it."As well as helping to save the NHS, these get-togethers are a great chance to have a chat with other 38 Degrees members who live in Ealing.Right now, local doctors in Ealing are forming a Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG). This new group will have power to decide what health services you and your neighbours are able to access and who provides them.The doctors on Ealing CCG will be under pressure from the government to slash costs and hand out contracts to private companies. That could put vital services at risk.Wednesday evening's meeting will be a chance to plan things we can do to ask doctors in Ealing to use their new powers to protect our NHS, not privatise it. If we work together, we can make sure they hear from hundreds of local people as they make these crucial decisions.Elsewhere in the country these get-togethers have been well-attended. Could you come on Wednesday? https://secure.38degrees.org.uk/ealing-get-together

A vigorous raconteur and vibrant mimic with lots to say. Watch that Man!" - The GuardianWith his infectious energy and huge stage presence it is easy to see why Junior Simpson is a circuit favourite. Simpson has a boundless joy and exuberance that has audiences hooked with hilarity.

Although mischevious and daring, Simpson is never crass or crude and can tailor his set to suit any audience.Junior is a regular headliner at clubs all over the UK and is also in great demand internationally performing as far afield as South Africa and Australia.
