A CROWD of thousands chanting “save the NHS” swamped Downing Street yesterday to demand more funding for the health service.
The crowd heard a mother’s tragic story of her daughter’s death after she had been allowed out of psychiatric care too soon.
People carried placards urging “kick the Tories out”, and “more staff, more beds, more funds”.
The marchers listened as Nicky Romero sobbed while telling the crowd that pressures on the mental health service had robbed her of her daughter, Becky.
A coroner found Becky’s suicide was linked to NHS failings after the 15-year-old was discharged from a psychiatric ward, despite self-harming that day.
