Interview with union representative as NHS staff campaign in defence of health services jobs.

On a high street in Hertfordshire, nurses in uniform emerge from a doorway and deliver leaflets to shops and to people passing by. Close up of leaflet explaining the COHSE “Defend The Health Service Campaign”. Union regional officer Kumar Sandy is asked whether the mention of 3,000 possible job losses is scaremongering, as the health authority is estimating only 750 jobs will be lost. Mr Sandy says the 750 is an artificial figure, and when the situation is examined in depth, the impact will be 3,000. Asked whether he would agree that the health service should run more efficiently, he replies that the service is being run efficiently, but the last five years have seen financial stringency, staffing levels reduced and an increase in population and patients. Further scenes of the leafletting nurses. The reporter was Owen Spencer-Thomas for this video made to be shown in a news story on Anglia Television early evening news / magazine programme About Anglia.
