There is a room we can use from 7pm. However it is a bit out of the way. I suggest meeting up at the entrance to the Medical School and I will direct people.
Helen has sent the following link about the latest NHS "privatisation" plans: http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2011/jul/19/nhs-services-open-to-competition
We also have, attached, via Wendy Savage and Helen, the latest version of the dreaded Bill.

Well worth visiting regularly; don't wait for a prompt. New stuff appears there all the time.
I get a fair amount of relevant postings on Facebook (many of them, but not all, duplicated on the KONP NE Facebook page) so any of you who are on Facebook can make me a friend in order to access them.
If you have replies to anything here or items to be included in the next bulletin or feedback responses (good or bad - we need to know) please send them to me at martin.manasse@gmail.com If you just hit the reply button your replies will go to everyone and could cause e-mail overload.
Thanks.
Martin
