Save Liverpool Women’s Hospital Campaign Tell Labour To Restore, Repair, And Rebuild the NHS

When: Sunday 28th September, 11am
Where: Liverpool Lime Street Station (steps) – march to Old Wall Arch, Albert Dock
While Labour’s Conference meets in Liverpool

Campaigners, trade unionists, and grassroots groups will gather to defend Liverpool Women’s Hospital and demand urgent action to restore and rebuild the NHS. Liverpool MPs Kim Johnson and Ian Byrne will join a line-up of speakers.

Liverpool Women’s Hospital - the largest of its kind in the UK -serves some of the most deprived communities in England, yet faces chronic underfunding through an inadequate national maternity tariff. A working group is reviewing its future, but campaigners with 82,000+ petition signatures have been excluded from the process.

Maternity services are in crisis nationwide. Infant mortality progress has stalled since 2014, with Black, Asian, and deprived communities suffering the worst outcomes. Reports of unsafe, overstretched maternity care are growing, yet government cuts and privatisation continue.

The NHS is under unprecedented strain:

• 6.5 million waiting for treatment, with clinicians being made redundant.
• A year-round A&E crisis costing thousands of lives.
• GP access increasingly unequal.
• Cancer outcomes lagging behind other advanced nations.

Meanwhile, billions flow to private firms like Palantir, while politicians take healthcare-linked donations. Labour has received four times more than any other party.

We demand:

• Full public funding for Liverpool Women’s Hospital at its Crown Street site.
• Urgent investment in maternity care to end unsafe conditions and tackle inequality.
• A publicly owned, publicly provided NHS—restored, repaired, and rebuilt.
