SUBSCRIBE TO SOCIALIST CHALLENGE issues NUDE NUPE THE TORIES say that they cannot find the money to pay the health workers 12 per cent. They claim that the £700 million needed is 'more than the country can afford So the workers in the NHS must struggle along near starvation wages - if they are forced to take the Tories' offer it will mean in real terms their wages have been cut by per cent.

So according to the Tories ine health workers can go to hell ano the NHs can con. tinue down the slippery decline demoralisation There are few, if any, more im. portant jobs than those that mean alleviating pain and suffering and saving human life Any sane ano civilised country would recog nisa that, and would treat its health workers service Bricordingly. But Tory Britain NOU sante humane, or civilised. It country run for bankers and speculators whose government has deliberately run down the health ser. vice so that the drug companies and private can enlarge their profits. If the Tory with its insulting offer more workers will leave the NHS services will decline still further and the health of working person will be place in jeopardy.

The working class cannot afford to and see the health workers get clobbered What is at stake is not just the wages nurses, porters, cleaners technicians, the whole future of a health service which should pro. vide free medical care for all.

The entire labour movement has to rally to the support of the 12 per cent claim Such support will be the best defence health of Ine of the working class.

July!
