Day by day, week by week we hear of more damage being done to our NHS - waiting times increasing, waiting lists growing and nurses' posts being cut.
David Cameron's Health and Social Care Bill will not just make matters worse it will change the NHS as we have known it, creating a postcode lottery and pitting hospital against hospital.
We need the Government to Drop the Bill and put the NHS first.
Dr Kailash Chand GP has set up a Government e-petition calling on the Government to drop the NHS Bill. Click Here to Sign

Councillor Kevin Price joins National Housing Lobby today – against removal of Cambridge tenant rights, particularly new Housing Association tenants The Housing Emergency Lobby has organised a nationwide lobby of Parliament against proposed changes in the Localism Bill (Part 6) being adopted this week which will particularly affect local Housing Associations including tenants of Cambridge Housing Society, Granta Housing Association and Hundred Houses Society. 
The Lib Dems voted through David Cameron and Nick Clegg’s dangerous health reforms which open up the NHS to mass privatisation and hugely expensive and unnecessary reorganisation. Cambridge Lib Dem MP Julian was all over the place on the Health and Social Care Bill voting for it one day, against it the next. He abstained on the crucial amendment that would have stopped the spread of competition and the private patient free for all. 
Thanks to all who showed ‘Cambridge United’ against the EDL and their messages of hatred. The demonstration reflected a great spirit of unity and solidarity with the city’s Muslim population, who were the main targets of the English Defence League.

Delay to Cambridge running its own Housing Finances 05 February 2011 The LibDem/Conservative Government has blocked Labour’s 2010 plan to allow Cambridge to run its own housing finances from 2011. Councillor Lewis Herbert said ‘It is a massive kick in the teeth for the 5800 families on the Cambridge housing waiting list that the LibDem/Conservative Government has blocked Labour’s 2010 plan for Cambridge to run its own housing finances from 2011.’ The change has been postponed and all the benefits stripped out by Treasury, blocking Labour’s plan to build 100 to 150 new Cambridge affordable homes every year. ‘Instead, the Government and Council are together hitting tenants with an outrageous and unjustified 7.45% rent increase at exactly the time they are cutting the service provided, which will force many to claim housing benefit who have never claimed it in their lives.’

Labour would temporarily cut VAT to kick start the flat-lining economy and give welcome relief to hard-pressed families in Cambridge.
We can't cut the deficit without growth and jobs. It's time for action.
