CHANTS of "No ifs, no buts, no NHS cuts" filled the air as campaigners rallied in Nottingham yesterday to voice their fears for the future of the National Health Service.

Among the hundreds of protesters who flooded the Forest recreation ground with placards, flags and even a full-sized coffin, was teaching assistant Lucy Fisher, who has cerebral palsy.

The 29-year-old, of Bonniface Gardens, Top Valley, has had five orthopaedic operations on the NHS since 1994.

Miss Fisher, who sometimes has to use a wheelchair because of her condition, says the surgery, aftercare and physiotherapy that she received has given her independence and a better quality of life.
