Please stand with the public - we are excluded from

this NHS stakeholder event

Youve been invited to attend Calderdale Clinical

Commissioning Groups final stakeholder engagement
event about their huge proposed changes to our NHS in
Calderdale.
But Calderdale Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) has
excluded the general public from this - and from all other
engagement events over the past year. Why? Arent the
public stakeholders in our NHS?
Dont cross our picket line!
Please refuse to enter this event unless and until Calderdale CCG
opens it to the public.
What the CCG isnt telling you: De-funding the NHS
The CCGs proposed changes are driven by the governments
austerity policies.
These are all about taking money from the public and handing it out
as corporate welfare. Since 2010 the government has paid out at
least 85bn/year to directly or indirectly meet the specific needs
and/or preferences of private businesses.

The government is deliberately de-funding the NHS, in order to run

it down and make it easier to privatise. Calderdale NHS funding is to
be cut by 80m over the 4 years to 2019.
What the CCG isnt telling you: Running down the NHS
The CCGs proposed changes will adversely affect Calderdale
residents - patients, carers, and the staff who provide treatments
and care.
NHS staff are asking themselves: Why have this faade telling the
public we will deliver this, this and this - when we know full well we
can't?
Patients access to some treatments is already restricted through
long waiting times, and they are being invited to pay for private
treatment.
The modern workforce that NHS England (the NHS privatisation
quango) requires means more less-qualified staff - some not even
statutorily regulated - and more volunteers and third sector
organisations. How is this going to provide the same level of care
that we currently receive?
What the CCG isnt telling you: The endgame is privatisation
Calderdale CCG plans to provide health services through an
Accountable Care Organisation (ACO) led by a private limited
shareholder company, Wainhouse Healthcare Ltd. An ACO provides
health care through managed pathways for an insurance company.
The CCGs destination is clearly privatisation of Calderdales NHS
by 2020.
Kids Company shows what happens when charities and 3rd
sector groups take over underfunded public services. Do you
want to be part of this?
