Uncorrected machine reading. This text was read by machine (Apple Vision OCR) from a scan of a newspaper page, and the page was cut into articles by machine, at the headlines found by their type size. Nothing has been corrected: expect misread words, text from a neighbouring article, and titles that are the machine reading of the headline, some of them only fragments. Quote from the scan, not from this page.
How this article was cut and titled: headline found by type size in the OCR geometry (split_tabloid.py); 1-1 of 4; machine-segmented newspaper page; uncorrected Vision OCR.

But the National Union of Public Employees' decision to deny all but emergeney services to private patients shows how a fight back can be begun. The task now is to extend the ban. The trade unions should put an embargo on all private facilities both inside and outside the NHS. In every area support committees should be built to give strength to the fight of the JHDs and to help to keep the wards running wherever they are threatened with either Government closures or the action of the consultants.

The National Coordinating Committee Against the Cuts in the NHS-already supported by bodies like the Welsh Miners, the Hull dockers, London NATSOPA, the South West Region of the TUC and NALGO, as well as by thousands of other trade unionists-must go onto the offensive. Its task now is to rally the maximum forces to fight to save the health of the working class.
