UK - Politics - Protest outside Downing Street 'Summit for the uninvited' against the NHS reform bill

A petition for the Prime Minister signed by hundrerds of people is delivered to Downing street. Protesters gathered outside on Whitehall in a demonstration called 'Summit of the Uninvited', Downing Street, London, UK. Outside the Prime Minister’s summit meeting where he invited selected health professionals and private companies to discuss implementation of the health bill and the future of the NHS and excluded all the organisations critical of the bill.

It has been alleged this shows the government’s desperation that they have had to rapidly convene this meeting to try to cobble this together at the last minute to try to show they still have some professional support and to split the profession and marginalise those who are critical.
