Sorry for delay in posting. Bob Gill has informed me that Peter Bach has received payment for making Sell Off. Therefore £47 was sent to the team that are promoting Sell Off. See Pal Pal receipt below.
I post below my request to the local Green party to use Sell Off as a tool to raise awareness of the issues raised. Events are developing fast. The main stream media is keeping people in the dark. Please consider acting on individual initiative and arrange a showing of Sell Off in any organisation you know of that may consider screening the film. I'm willing to help with projector etc. Alternatively pass on the link to view the film online
Post screening report:
A very constructive evening was had in two showings - don't ask me to explain - 20 people for first and 13 for second screening. Net expenses £31 - contributions £72 incl £10 for two DVD's. The KONP campaign moves forward - more screenings. GREAT.

Campaigning - taking Green Party policies out to the wider community: NHS, TTIP, Media, Local involvement, Inappropriate centralised power structure, the oppression of debt money, usury - all these issues are brilliantly introduced in the timely recent independent film "Sell Off" about the Virginisation of the NHS.
I request the meeting discuss taking this film out into the wider community to warn citizens of the rapid privatisation / destruction of the NHS. As we know this is happening under the noses of the general public. The Green Park has appropriate policies to challenge what's happening and to build a brighter future. The film opens a door to alert the "community" to the dangers and the opportunities.

I'll seek to split the contributions after expenses - £43 between Peter Bach and KONP. Will seek advice first from KONP.
I was advised that I'd forgotten to link directly to the online film. My apologies - absolutely necessary for the spread of this powerful film.

Sell Off
The corporatisation of our National Heath Service
or
‘Putting Dracula in charge of the blood bank’
Screening at 8 pm
It is presented by a small group of doctors that express concern about speaking out but more concern at what they observe happening to our health care service. These doctors have had the veil lifted on the deep machinations of a corporate take over of our world as it plays out in the public service of health care.
The film is a stunning expose of the NHS restructuring for corporate greed.
It echos briefings on the campaign Keep Our NHS Public.
In the process of analysing the complex web of intrigue they open a door on to a broader corporatisation of society, TTIP and more.
What can we do about it? Join with others, as and when, to answer that question and to spread the word to raise awareness because the media is not telling the public that quality, free and accessible heath care is being stolen from under their noses.

Proposed NHS Reinstatement Bill
A campaign was launched on Saturday 4 October to reverse the failings of the Health and Social Care Act 2012 and fully restore the NHS in England as an accountable public service.
The launch was carried out by Prof. Allyson Pollock at a special meeting at the Liberal Democrat Annual Conference in Glasgow, and by Peter Roderick at the annual general meeting of the NHS Consultants' Association in London.
Underpinning the campaign is a proposed NHS Reinstatement Bill 2015, co-authored by Pollock and Roderick, which would abolish competition and the purchaser-provider split, re-establish public bodies and public accountability, and restrict the role of commercial companies. It draws on some of the best examples of NHS administration over its history, retains some features of the reforms laid out in the Health and Social Care Act 2012, and would be implemented on a timescale determined by the secretary of state.
The Bill will both restore the NHS in England and reverse more than two decades of policies which have been intent upon privatising NHS services and funding, ultimately to its demise.
The proposed NHS Reinstatement Bill is a vital public health measure, and necessary legally to prevent the NHS in England becoming simply a memory, something that we had once upon a time.
Lord David Owen CH FRCP comments that "as the failures of the 2012 Act become daily evermore obvious, this Bill provides a template for very necessary reinstatement and reform. The secretary of state will decide the manner and the pace of implementation - except for section 1, which would restore his or her legal duty to provide the NHS with immediate effect."
Comments on the Bill are sought from those who share the concern and commitment to reinstating fully the NHS as an accountable public service as smoothly as possible and with only a minimal and exceptional role for commercial companies. Responses to the Bill can be sent by email to nhsrbconsultation@gmail.com. Other queries Alex Agombar agombar.alex@gmail.com
