THIS Government is pushing through the Health and Social Care Bill which will create upheaval and chaos in our National Health Service.
There is no mandate for this re-organisation, neither government party proposed such a Bill in their election manifesto nor was it part of the Coalition agreement.
There is little support for this in the country, yet they plow on at a cost of nearly £3.5 billion in these days of austerity.
The Government is already acting on the Bill before it has even become law.
In Worcestershire the outgoing Primary Care Trust has already been instructed to set aside over £33 million whilst waiting lists have risen by five per cent since May 2010. This is a disgrace.
It is not too late to stop this idealogical nonsense. Sign up to the non-political petition at epetitions.direct.gov.uk to Stop the Bill and safeguard our National Health Service.
