Thousands of protesters have poured into the streets of London to voice outrage about the government\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s proposed changes to the NHS.\n<\/p>\n
The protest, backed by an unprecedented coalition of British trade unions, Labour MPs, medical staff and anti-privatization campaign groups, was organized against planned privatization and closures across London including nine accident and emergency departments, several maternity units and thousands of hospital bed.\n<\/p>\n
The Save Our NHS demonstrators marched in the British capital on Saturday, holding banners with slogans including \u00c5\u201cNHS not for sale\u201d and \u00c5\u201cKeep our NHS public\u201d.\n<\/p>\n
The protesters also handed a letter to the British Prime Minister\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s office at No 10 Downing Street demanding him to halt \u00c5\u201cclosures and privatization threats to the NHS\u201d.\n<\/p>\n
The rally was called after a set of closures and downgrades of A&E departments and other services at London hospitals that led to the massive 25,000-srong march to defend Lewisham hospital.\n<\/p>\n
