NHS 70th birthday

TENS of thousands of people will join a huge demonstration today to mark the 70th anniversary of the NHS and call for money for the service.

Politicians, actors, musicians and union leaders will address a rally in central London, demanding an end to cuts and a halt to privatisation of services.

Nurses, doctors and other health workers will join the protest, timed to mark the 70th anniversary on July 5. Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn is set to address the demonstration.
