The National Health Service has provided comprehensive, high quality health care to all since its inception in 1948.
Details of our next meeting are listed here. People attend our KONPNE meeting from all over the North East, and you are welcome to attend whatever your address is – we have no geographical boundaries. We also host very active (daily) facebook and twitter feeds which provide local and national updates and news (see “Contact Us” tab) and there is also an open invitation to all to join our mailing list, wherever you live – click here.
KONP North East is one of over seventy local KONP groups who are affiliated to national KONP. The constitution of the national organisation states that
“The principal object of KONP is to stop the privatisation and commercialisation of our NHS and campaign for the re-instatement of a comprehensive, universal, publicly funded, publicly owned, publicly provided and publicly accountable, national health service which is free at the point of use and has the resources needed to provide excellent health care for all on a long term, sustainable basis. This will involve campaigning to resist cuts and closures within the NHS. KONP will respond to the proposed integration of Health and Social Care services in ways which are consistent with its commitment to an entirely public National Health Service”.
