Yes I know I wrote a similar post on my photography blog but I wanted to highlight an email I sent to my local MP Mr David Ruffley. I sent the email via the take Action website
Dear Mr Ruffley
On BBC 2s Newsnight on the 4th of April 2011, you said when talking
about the forthcoming NHS Bill "I am concerned that good traditional
District General Hospitals, like the West Suffolk Hospital in Bury St
Edmunds, should not be undermined by private firms undercutting them by
offering cheaper operations"
I agreed with your concern then especially as the Bill did not feature
in either governing party manifesto, or in the Coalition Agreement.
In
fact, the Prime Minister himself promised the NHS was safe in his hands
before the election, saying categorically there would be no “top down
reorganisation of the NHS”.
But now that's all changed and I note that you yourself have voted in
favour of the bill.
Can you tell me why the vast majority of health experts have being
blatantly ignored during the consultation and why this bill is going
ahead without the traditional risk register being published?
I am concerned that the minor amendments accepted so far have done
nothing to alter the nature of the Bill, which as far as I can see will
only damage the quality of healthcare for ordinary people around the UK.
Is there any possibility of asking you to reconsider your final vote in
light of your earlier concerns and the concerns that have come to light
since?
For those of you looking for astrological content, tonight the bill was passed in the House of Lords. Mercury is retrograde, decisions taken then are often reversed. The sun is heading towards the last degree of Pisces and the moon is heading towards the last degree of Aquarius, both signify change. These indicators give me hope that if this bill does pass in to law then it will be reversed at some point in the future Labour it's over to you!
