Healthcare for asylum-seekers
Access to healthcare for refused asylum-seekers and many undocumented migrants is causing great suffering and distress at present, even without further restrictions.

Many people continue to be unable to register with a GP and others face large bills often totalling many thousand of pounds that they are unable to pay.

Healthcare is a human right. No one should be refused in a ‘civilised’ society. Many migrant workers and people who once sought asylum now help run our NHS. We demand that government proposals to further restrict primary health care are withdrawn.

Organised by:
Manchester Trades Council, Trades Unions for Refugees, Manchester Committee to Defend Asylum Seekers, RAPAR

Church Action On Poverty, Dale House, 35 Dale Street, Manchester M1 2HF.
