Campaigners have called a public meeting as they urge politicians to “pledge to save the NHS”.
Caroline Lucas, the Green MP for Brighton Pavilion, and Nancy Platts, the Labour parliamentary candidate in Brighton Kemptown, are due to address the meeting on Wednesday 24 September.
The other speakers include Carl Walker, who plans to stand for Parliament for the National Health Action Party Candidate, mental health nurse Stephen Mclean and comedian Kevin Hunter-Day.
The meeting has been organised by Sussex Defend the NHS and will be held in the main hall at BHASVIC (Brighton, Hove and Sussex VI Form College) in Dyke Road, Hove.
The organisers said: “We have invited all the city’s MPs, councillors and election candidates to sign the pledge opposing the dismantling of the NHS.
“There will be an opportunity for everyone to pledge their support for the NHS.”
The meeting is due to start at 7.30pm on Wednesday 24 September.
