The Guardian: NHS accused of keeping secret its plans to cut services

It’s not just ordinary people like us reading these headlines today. Every morning NHS bosses and the health secretary Jeremy Hunt sit down with their officials to get a run-down of the day’s news. This morning they saw headline after headline demanding they reveal their secret NHS plans. They’ll be feeling the pressure and will be scrambling to work out what to do next.

Days like this get us one step closer to getting these plans out in the open. The moment these plans are finally exposed, we’ll have a clear picture of which local services are going to be cut – and a better action plan to protect them.

Yes, the fight to protect our NHS can feel long and hard. But today we took one step closer to our goal.
