Dear Editor
The National Health Service has always been valued as a people’s organisation. This value has always been appreciated – but never more so than today.
This lesson on the importance of people’s services shows the way our society must be run. If the NHS is vital, so are gas, electricity and water. As are the railways, buses and trams. Make them public services, too – serving the people.
The value of the NHS to the people is immense: a publicly funded service, available ever day.
Also ever day, 30 million people travel to and from their places of work using rail, bus and tram.
Work, in order to live, is a necessity. These transport industries must also become part of a fully funded, publically owned service with the NHS. It can be arranged and organised as a public service.
The NHS has been our lifeline. People have always guarded the principle of a service of the people.
How right that is!
