NHS: Emergency Lords petition growing fast!

October 11th, 2011 by

We’ve now got less than 24 hours until the crucial House of Lords vote that will decide the future of the NHS, and our emergency petition already has over 80,000 signatures.

Members of the House of Lords, led by Lord Owen, are voting on whether to give the Bill proper scrutiny and examine key issues like the Secretary of State’s duty to provide. Our petition is growing at an incredible speed – over 10,000 signatures per hour!

Here’s what members are saying:

“The NHS is like good health itself, you won’t miss it until it has gone. It is too important to let this happen.” – Jacqueline

“Too many experienced and respected health care professionals are worried about these changes for them to be adopted without closer scrutiny.” – Guy

“We’re depending on you to save the NHS” – Sue

    Today we are reading in the press about Dr Fox’s ‘friend’: “He started UK Health Ltd when Dr Fox was shadow health secretary .. and he founded Security Futures in 2006 after his friend moved to the defence brief.”

    This is EXACTLY why Andrew Landsley’s Health and Social Care Bill is so flawed … it is open to this kind of abuse.
