Bake for the NHS! Celebrate the 72nd birthday with NHS cakes…
People all across the UK are baking the NHS cakes for its 72nd birthday!

We Own It’s Director Cat Hobbs said: “Dozens of people around the country are coming together to celebrate the NHS’ 72nd anniversary by baking birthday cakes for our beloved health service. This is nothing short of an outpouring of love.
“But as our brilliant bakers have shown, for far too long, private companies have been taking slices out of our NHS. As we’ve seen from Serco’s shoddy handling of contact tracing, and Deloitte’s damaging running of testing during the coronavirus crisis, privatisation in our health service has been a recipe for disaster.
“It’s high time we gave the NHS a birthday present it really deserves – an end to privatisation.”
Contracts worth at least £6.2 billion have been given to private companies to tackle the coronavirus crisis, according to Health Minister Edward Argar.
We Own It has also started a petition calling for an end to NHS outsourcing and the reinstatement of the NHS as a “fully public service” to coincide with the birthday. The petition has received over 16,000 signatures so far.
