Marching for St Helier

I was pleased to hear that 2000-3000 were on the St Helier Hospital march on Saturday.

This quite possibly is the largest ever March in Sutton. Certainly bigger than the Orchard Hill March in the mid 1990's and the Home Care March in 2000.

I was unable to attend myself as I was at a London Labour Party Conference, which passed a London-wide motion on health issues to forward concerns to the the government.

I think the concerns expressed by the public on the march and at the conference will have an impact, when the results of the London-wide review are announced.

Clearly we need to keep the pressure up, but we should still be optimistic.

I will comment more on the implications of the march in future postings.
