Hundreds of thousands of people have taken to the streets of London in protest against dramatic NHS cuts proposed by the Government.Thought to be one of the biggest NHS rallies in history, “Our NHS” march comes amid warnings of an unprecedented crisis within health services, fuelled by £20bn worth of cuts scheduled by 2020.
