Thanks!

Hello friends

We are busy preparing ourselves for our next court battle - this time we have two days in the Court of Appeal. We know it will be sometime before Christmas. So we are launching our next CrowdJustice Stage 5 on Friday 21st September - 7pm.

We hope you are as excited as we are and that you can continue to support our Appeal. It affects all of us.  We will be updating our website periodically so be sure to keep this link handy: http://bit.ly/999Appealing  #Justice4NHS 

Thanks to everyone for all the kind messages of support. 

Jo, Jenny & Steve

Hello 

Our Stage 4 CrowdJustice fundraiser goes live tonight at 7pm. We want permission to take our Judicial Review to the Court of Appeal.

Thanks to everyone who has kept supporting us with emails and messages and thanks to our legal team at Leigh Day who have been instrumental in helping us with great advice. 

Over 1400 generous people have helped us with this Judicial Review so far. 

We could not (and probably would not) have done it without all the fantastic campaigner support from groups and individuals around the country.

We are still in discussions with our legal teams and we will be making a formal announcement later this week. 

If you have not visited the Judicial Review Rally page - with short testimonies by campaigners from across the country - please do visit.

It is a wonderful reminder that we are all fighting together and the strength of feeling about protecting the founding principle of our NHS as a comprehensive healthcare service for everyone at a time of need.

Thannk you. Please keep visiting this page for updates this week.

We are saddened and disappointed to report that the Judge who heard our case in Leeds on 24th April has ruled against us.

We are not happy with the ruling he handed over in Manchester on Monday 14th May and we are meeting our legal team early next week to discuss the situation and our next steps. We will issue a full statement as soon as possible.

Thanks to members of Greater Manchester Keep Our NHS Public who joined Jenny at Manchester Civil Court on the day.

We will issue a full statement next week once we have explored all avenues with our legal team at Leigh Day & Landmark Chambers.

Thanks to all our followers who have kept up the support.

After such a long time of planning, relying on your support and working with the legal team we are finally on our way to court this coming Tuesday 24th April. This is a video of Jenny speaking at the Leeds KONP March for the NHS last week and a great reminder why we are going to court and why this case, like others, affects us all.

Please share with friends and if you are in the area please come along and share in the rally outside the courts at 9am. 

We'll keep updating throughout the day. 

Thanks

We had a good meeting with our legal team in London yesterday spending over two hours discussing the Judicial Review and how it fits into our campaign around Accountable Care. After a year of work we are finally set to go to court in Leeds on Tuesday 24th April. 

We would love supporters and campaigners to join us outside the courts on the morning of the case to show support not only for us but all the local campaigns that our case affects.

Standby for details.

It's been a busy week. We wanted to tell about last Saturday. Members of the 999 Call for the NHS team took to the streets with scores of thousands of others on the #fixourNHS march.

Their mission - to explain our Judicial Review and why we are seeking #Justice4NHS.

The cry "We Want #Justice 4 NHS became a chant for our segment of the march. We even made the Washington Post. 

Today the Health Service Journal reported that the £6bn Greater Manchester ACO contract has been put on hold. Leaked minutes of the Manchester Health and Care Commissioning committee meeting show that one of the considerations in making that decision was our 999 Call for the NHS upcoming judicial review of the draft ACO contract.

Manchester Health and Care Commissioning – a “partnership” created by Manchester Clinical Commissioning Group and Manchester City Council – had hoped to award a new £6bn ACO contract to a consortium of community providers in April.

The fact that NHS England has delayed the introduction of the ACO contract in both Dudley and Manchester - intended as the first two ACO pilots - and that they've now ALSO delayed the 2nd wave Accountable Care Systems, only goes to show what disarray the government and its quango NHS England are in as more people have become aware of what they are proposing.

The generosity of hundreds of supporters means we are having an effect. We could not do this alone. We have everything to win and must fight on.

As spring approaches put this date in your diary. 

Leeds Combined Court Centre is where we will be to observe the proceedings of our Judicial Review. Have a think about how you might like to help share it on social media and with local press etc. We will be preparing more information as soon as we are able.

Keep checking this page and our website for details. 

Thanks everyone.

Hello

On advice, because of the new surge of interest and support we have decided to keep the appeal open a little longer. We are again overwhelmed at the public/campaigner response.

We will keep the appeal open until midnight on Friday 26th Jan making it a two week success.

Keep checking back here for more updates. 

Thanks again for all your support.

999 Call for the NHS attended the Health Campaigns Together Northern Conference in Leeds yesterday. The questions, interest and enthusiasm for our Judicial Review was wonderful to experience. It was also really good to come away from the day feeling the campaigner family was a big one with lots of shared knowledge and experience. 

We'd like to thank everyone again for their support and friendship. In just over a week you've helped us feel more confident about our work - AND not worrying about personal liability! Thank you everyone who has donated. 

Please share this page in one more push to the finish line.

Hello

We are so grateful for all the donations and messages of support that have been coming in.

We deliberately chose bright optimistic colours for #justice4NHS because this case offers some hope for all of us. And this weekend we'd like supporters to add their hope to the campaign - not just a boost for funds but for morale!

Simply take a I/We Want #Justice4NHS Smiley Selfie of you, your family & friends, your sports team or social group  and post it online to Facebook, Instagram & Twitter. 

You can download the selfie template from our 999 Call for the NHS site HERE

But a simple handwritten notice (add your name for a personal touch) will do just as well. 

Use the hashtag #Justice4NHS and we will find you. 

Thanks so much and here's to making this happen
