HI Mo speak later but can you share this.

NHS ALERT - TOMORROW (Friday 11th May) The second reading of a Private Members Bill to amend the 2006 Health Service Bill to allow Co-Payment for treatment in the NHS.

This means allowing the NHS to charge patients for necessary treatments.

Ask your MP to do all they can to prevent this going any further if you value your NHS. We are always being told that all the main Parties will always protect an NHS that is Free at the point of use. Here they are trying to pass legislation to enable charging for NHS treatment.

Tell your friends about this, ask them - and all your contacts - to contact their MP and ask them to take action on this important issue.
