Defend Primary Healthcare - Write to your MP this week
The countdown to the publication of a government review on access to healthcare for vulnerable migrants has begun. Neil Gerrard MP has tabled an Early Day Motion (a statement of beliefs) in the Houses of Parliament " against any measures that would compel general practitioners, and other primary care staff, to be forced to charge refused asylum seekers or other vulnerable foreign nationals for NHS care." (EDM 220) If we can get 100 MPs to sign this EDM, the findings of the review will stand more chance of being debated. This means we will have more opportunity to push for changes.
So, IF YOU DO ONE POLITCAL THING THIS WEEK, go here, download the template letter to MPs, add your name, adapt it as you see fit and mail it to your MP. You can find out who your MP is by putting in your postcode here. Many thanks!
