This was the start of a March organised to protest against cuts to our Oamaru hospital! We need this in Oamaru as it has great services and the helicopter brings you here first! It was planned a 5% cut for this hospital!
There were 2500 supporters in this March and I saw from my photos that they were sincere but also enjoyed the 'get-to-gether"
What a grand display of solidarity against these cuts -- These cuts never make sense do they - The National Health here in the UK is also in dire state --so many cuts yet building and building more residential sites !! I shall not go on my soap box now !! Good photo Maggiemay , and I hope the ones in charge will listen to sense !!
When I first saw this picture and your title I thought maybe it was a Gay Pride parade, but upon further reading I realized my mistake!! ;-))) Do love those kilts, though.... I am glad they are protesting against the cuts, especially when it involves health care.
@panthora Why can't the Government allocate more funds to these rural hospitals rather than donate thousands of dollars to other countries who get tons of support from all round the world!
