Public Urged To Contact Their MP About NHS Cuts To Funding

Save Liverpool Women's Hospital Say: Cheshire and Merseyside NHS Cuts 2026-7 Are Utterly Unacceptable

 

Despite claims in Parliament to the contrary, the NHS is facing continued financial constrantes and actual funding cuts.

New funding if going to private sector companies and NOT into front-line NHS Healthcare services. Indeed, the Government has now decided against employing 10.000 new doctors, therebye attacking the health of the general public, in a campaign of 'healthcare denial and blackmail'.

 

The result is that Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) are finding that their budgtes are being cut at the same time as demands fro Wess Streeting to improve productivity in the face of losing 1000s of junior doctors who are leaving the NHS for better pay and terms and conditions in other countries, the main being Australia.

 

Releasing a statment on their website, the campaigners of the Save Liverpool Women's Campaign, sya that people must contact their MPs about the 'utterly unacceptable' healthcare cuts being forced upon ICBs across the country, whilst highlighting the appalling state of the Cheshire and Merseyside Integrate Care Boards decisions and finance cuts:

 

"All NHS services in Cheshire and Merseyside, including Liverpool Women’s Hospital, are affected by cuts made in 2025-2026 by the Integrated Care Board. The financial situation this year, 2026-27, is set to be worse unless the people have a say and persuade the politicians that this is a very bad decision. MPs need to hear from the public on this issue. You can write to them. 

 

See They work for you to do so. 

 

You can also raise the matter with your union, with your community groups, with families. People need to know, so we can win the case for much better funding and an end to creeping privatisation. This government has u turned before when they realise how unpopular their decisions are.

 

The major issues of the Maternity Crisis are directly affected by this financial squeeze, as evidenced by the problems described as “capacity pressures” in Baroness Amos’s interim report. We continue to campaign on this."
