Summit for the Uninvited

To protest at the exclusion of so many from the NHS meeting on Monday 20th Feb 2012 at noon an event is advertised for anyone who wishes to be there. https://www.facebook.com/events/191859057582900/
Brilliant ploy by David cameron and his cronies to host a meeting at the worst possible time for practising healthcare professions. Also wonderful to give only a few hours notice + weekend. Perhaps politicians have nothing better to do with their time than host meetings, but people who have real jobs cannot drop everything at short notice. Especially people in public services who must ask colleagues to cover for them. Particularly in general practice where absenting a nurse or doctor suddenly puts enormous strain on those staying behind to deal with demands of citizens who are presenting for help with health matter.
