6% RATE RISE
The government, intent on cutting tax and regulation to it's Tax Avoiding Friends has told councils throughout the land, that despite the pressure on the NHS caused in part by shortfalls in Adult Social Care it is unwilling to fund Adult Social Care.
It has told councils to increase council tax by 6%, despite knowing that that is not enough to avoid cuts to Social Care therefor putting massive pressure on the NHS. The attack on the NHS is not accidental, Conservatives intent is to destroy the NHS to line the pockets of their Tax Avoiding and foreign friends of the Capitalist elite by cutting funds, constant reorganisation and expensive privatisation.
It must be remembered the Tories fought Tooth and Nail against the creation of the NHS, supported by the BMA and the right wing press they called the NHS the "Medical Gestapo" and "Medical Fuhrer" and the Daily Mail, as usual speaking for the working man, declared "NO FUTURE FOR US IN BRITAIN"
The NHS was created despite the 178 Conservatives who voted against it.
All parties on Kirklees propose the Government recommended 6% Rate rise.
Three parties propose using money that we may receive in November, that could be used to protect Adult Social Care and thus take some pressure off the NHS, to delay 1% of the rise for the year. But the do propose the rise.
