The government has been
defeated over its plans for the NHS at the Labour Party
conference. Delegates voted in favour of a Unison motion
calling for a slow down in the pace of reform and condemning
the privatisation of the health service.
It comes on the day health workers at NHS Logistics are on
strike over plans to sell-off the supply agency to DHL. The
reforms also include plans for
NHS compensation.
