In York on the 5th July Defend Our N.H.S./Mental Health Action performed a specially written (by Anne Leonard) and produced ‘wagon’ style play, outside St Michael Le Belfrey Church opposite York Minster whilst the great and good gathered inside there, including the then Secretary of State for Health & Social Care, Jeremy Hunt.
The play presented the how and why of the National Health Service being formed and the present effects of austerity and Tory policy on the service, it also included the famous speech by Aneurin Bevan.
Well done to all those involved for a stirling and stirring performance – a shame that Jeremy had to miss it! Or was that why he became Foreign Secretary?
