System as well. The too large amounts of spending for the public sector and exports have led to problems with in the national corporations. Currently we are living the effects of this policy that has been going on for a few years now and causes Britain to stand low in European standards in what regards the taxation. Recent events make us believe that a change is very necessary if we don’t want too see a massive effect on the economy taking place in the future.

One of the best signs that something doesn’t function in the inside are the protests. This is just what happened, as about 400 of the employees in the NHS took to the streets engaging in protests against the job cuts inside their system. The crowd spoke against reducing budgets in the health sector and all too high taxes. This all was only part of a plan issued by the NHS Together alliance of unions and other organisations, so it was a case when people working in this field united to protest; this is a sign of a serious problem. The protesters staged in Albert Square, Manchester and shouted against the budget drop.

The chair of the Manchester branch of Unison for community and mental health, Karen Reissman, stated that the situation is a curfew. She warned that if people involved in the health business don’t act now this realm will be threatened with disappearance in the coming years. According to her, the health system is kind of under attack, because a country like Great Britain can sustain a system of this size. But lack of interest and uncaring taxation of it is a great threat.

Health services is obviously something any society needs and recent phenomena affect the blood service dramatically, as Lillian Elliot, working at national level in this branch, points out. She claimed that because of the job crisis, the nine blood processing and testing centres may be reduced to three. The vital blood supplies may find themselves more in movement than in centres where they are needed.

Protesters also went in support of the 250 workers in the mental health area who criticised the slashes and lowering of jobs, as well as the threats to privatise some health agencies.

A senior radiographer at the Hope Hospital in Salford, Angela Murphy spoke about the tensions in her branch, where the working time has increased by 2.5 hours a weak and salaries are growing slower than the inflation. This causes people there to be nervous and agitated. The chance to have redundancies increases the already existing tension.

The general of TUC, Brendan barber, wished a warm good luck to the protester in their quest against the job reductions and hailed the improvements of health services quality in the last years.

The crisis has reached the top, literary, as a giant banner of NHS together now greets anyone climbing to the peak of Skiddaw in Lake District.
