They actually listened and dropped the bill so I really hope we can breathe a sigh of relief now. My hands are still shaking a bit because I honestly thought they would just ignore us forever but look at that I guess persistence pays off even when things feel completely …
We, the undersigned, request that MPs from all political persuasions oppose the new Health and Social Care bill which passes the responsibility for commissioning services to GPs, reduces accountability and establishes the principle of 'any willing provider'. If passed, this legislation is counter to the core priniciples of the National Health Service which establishes that all citizens of this country have an equal right and access to high quality health care, free at the point of delivery.
I honestly cannot believe how many people are jumping on board this right now because it really feels like the momentum is actually starting to shift toward something meaningful. It is giving me so much hope that we might actually be able to make these people listen for once.

Hands off our health service. My family rely on it and this bill is clearly just a way to make someone rich at our expense.

Please listen to the doctors who are actually against this. Why are they trying to break what isnt even broken?

GP's should be focusing on patients not running a business. This is a massive mistake.

The NHS is not for sale! Stop these privatisation plans before it is too late for all of us.
