Save our NHS bill in the Lords: Duty to provide briefing

Clearly this legislation, ip implemented will do serious damage to our health service.

Would you please read the attached, so when the issue comes up in the House of Lords in the very near future you are ‘armed’ with as much as much info as possible.  I am sorry if you are too bombarded, but I care passionately for the NHS and feel the coalition is keener on selling it off, rather than reforming it. 

Dear Lord Morris
I care a great deal for the NHS. We need our NHS to still be free at the pooint of access. I am married to an American and spend time in the States. Most people do not have adequate health care and would love to have our health care. They will work doing anything to get some sort of health care provision and even then they have to pay copays at each visit to the doctor and any other test that is required like bloods. We have, on the whole, such excellent care within the health care system in the UK.  I worked in the NHS as a community nurse for over 40 years and have seen the changes. Change is not bad IF it is done to benefit the people it is there for.  I am now retired, but still in touch with so many colleagues who are desperate at what is happening to the NHS.  It is up to you all as public servants to go out there and listen to those at the sharp end of the NHS.  They are the people who know how the NHS should be run. At the end of the day it is not the Minister of Health who should  be at the top of the flow chart but a person who uses the NHS.  Please fight for this and the Governments Duty to Provide a good NHS and still free at the point of access.

the right to provide must remain untouched. Every patient must have the right to make full use of the NHS services.  Please back our fight to keep things for the good of the patient. No patients no NHS. We need the backing of the House of Lords to win this case

Dear Lord Parkinson; I know that contacting you like this for the 3rd time could look like nagging and I am sorry if that is so. I just feel so strongly about the clause regarding  ”duty to care” and the risk of it being removed or reduced that I am taking the liberty of asking you to give the consequences of its removal your close consideration and vote for its retention. Thank you so much for your attention.

The “duty to provide” a “free (National Health Service) at the point of service” is fundamental to the survival of our democratic and fair Nation. Please read 38 Degrees Legal Advice on this. My first greatgrandchild has just arrived ,in the USA. I am now understanding of why our NHS is so precious – ‘The envy of the world’ – the risks, that Americans take for granted, every day, because of their  Medicare system, are a scandal. Our friends and families across the pond want what we have but (we are told) many don’t want to pay for it? We must consider what we could face if we allow our NHS to be erroded?

Very simple message, Our health service is the best in the world and should remain so without politicians messing it up. 

I think it is essential that the NHS duty to provide is NOT removed

please ensure that the duty of care isNOT removed.our nhs is so good do not make it any less good

THE BILL COMMON SENSE AND THE N.H.S WILL GO BACK TO THE 1930s

mist out  the bill lacks common sense.and the N. H S. WILL GO BACK TO THE 1930s

Dear Lord Cotter,  I am disgusted that The Secretary of State is planning to remove the “duty of care”.  Does he not know that this will be the start of the end of the health service.  The man who started the health service will be turning in his grave.  Our health service was once the envy of the world but is now in decline through gross mismanagement.  The media are constantly telling us how badly hospitals are performing but unfortunately people these days are guided by money and therefore the caring service we once had is seriously deteriated.  When I visit our local hospital,  staff are falling over one another with bits of paper in their hand.  The health service is lacking good business management and the removal of the duty of care will make things even worse.

 I worked in the NHS as a  nurse and midwife for over 35 years and have seen the changes. Change is not bad IF it is done to benefit the people it is there for.  I am now retired, but still in touch with so many colleagues who are desperate at what is happening to the NHS.  It is up to you all as public servants to go out there and listen to those at the sharp end of the NHS.  They are the people who know how the NHS should be run. At the end of the day it is not the Minister of Health who should  be at the top of the flow chart but a person who uses the NHS.  Please fight for this and the Governments Duty to Provide a good NHS and still free at the point of access.

Dear Lord Rosslyn, I write to yourself, with regard to the present Coalition changes proposed for the NHS. I, and I am sure, many others are hoping that their representative in the House of Lords gives their attention to this matter and can manage to attend the debates to be held on the Secretary of State’s “duty to provide” a health service and not to allow the current minister to shirk his responsibilities. There was no mention of such changes in the Coalition agreement and those common commoners need constant reminders of the crucial need for integrity to be displayed by themselves. Although, having said that, one wonders on their recent behaviour within society, I doubt if “sincerity” could walk through the door would it go within barge-pole distance of them and, if so, how many environmental health inspectors would be on the end of said pole. I have no experience of working for the NHS but years prior to my mother’s death in 1998, I was her carer, and have experience of the failings of the NHS with regard to the treatment of the elderly, and the short-comings of the NHS in that regard. With their, no doubt, money-grubbing mentality, there is a strong possibility that the elderly could be very short-changed and that would be even more deplorable than the present situation already is.  Please read the following message at:-http://www.38degrees.org.uk/clause-10-advice/ that is the briefing prepared by 38degrees.org.uk by their team of independent legal experts. Yours Sincerely, Iain R. Stewart
