Defend the Whittington Hospital Coalition

Local Cuts

The DWHC is now monitoring and raising awareness of cuts to public services in Islington and neighbouring boroughs.

Naturally, the DWHC is focussed on cuts to the health services, but the threatened cuts are not confined to health services and we have decided to affiliate to a newly formed coalition known as IHOOPS (Islington Hands Off our Public Services Coalition). This will ensure that local health issues will continue to attract public attention.
