Sarah Teather, Barry Gardiner, and Glenda Jackson have been targeted by campaigners against hospital closures and privatisation of the NHS in a petition launched this week. The petition reads:
Campaigning organisations will be collecting signatures over the summer and into the autumn. You can run off your own copy using the link below and collect signatures in your workplace or neighbourhood.
To: NHS NW
London, Sarah Teather MP, Glenda Jackson MP, Barry Gardiner MP,
NHS NW London is
consulting on proposals which would mean the accident and emergency department
at Central Middlesex Hospital, already closed at night, closing for ever. This
could be the first step in the downgrading of the hospital, which serves some
of the most deprived wards in Brent with the greatest health needs.
We the
undersigned demand:
· The reopening of
A & E at Central Middlesex Hospital to provide a full 24 hour emergency
service with all necessary back up.
· No cuts to
community, mental health or other services. The government can find money for
the banks, they should restore the £1billion they are cutting from NW London
Health Services.
· An end to
privatisation which provides an inferior service for patients and cuts in jobs,
pay or worse working conditions for staff, creaming off profits for private
companies.
