Ruth Appleton

A social worker and Refugee Development  worker.  My specialty is Mental Health.  For 30 years a Labour Party member and Unison member.  Now Branch Secretary for Unison Retired Members.  7 years a governor of Camden & Islington Mental Health Trust which is now forced to lease property and land to maintain services. A disgraceful situation which I hope to change.

My work with Asylum seekers demonstrates the deprivation within our cities and homelessness makes it worse, Health is everything to do with Housing and Social Care Policies.  It is up to us to undermine government plans.

The NHS cannot go on like this.  Central Council can force the change needed and I’d like to engage with others to make this work.  Essential to act now and overturn the Tory policy of breaking up the NHS as we know it. Please vote for me.
