Stockport Against Mental Health Cuts

Posted on by Keep Our NHS Public Greater Manchester
Stockport Clinical Commissioning Group, alongside bosses from Stockport Council, Pennine Care and Stockport Foundation Trust, have decided to pay £450.000 to external management consultants for 12 weeks work, at the same time as cutting nursing posts.

Why?

” … to help the economy to move quickly from an adversarial to a collaborative relationship to enable the delivery of a new model of care.”

What this actually means is to ensure a streamlined approach to the implementation of cuts across these service areas.

What a disgrace!

This is OUR NHS and OUR money.

The CCG share is £210.000. This is being paid at the same time they are recommending that the cuts proposed by Pennine Care, to community mental health services, of a further £212.000 by April 2015, are implemented.

Make your views heard, decide the next steps to oppose these cuts- 

Come to the next Campaign organising meeting on 6/1/15 at 6pm Stockport Town Hall
