Call to MPs from all sides to support Margaret Greenwood on 24 February
Attend the Commons for Private Members' business on Friday, 24 February and vote for the Second Reading of the National Health Service Bill
Why is this important?
We call on MPs of all parties to attend the Commons on Friday morning, 24th February 2017 when Private Members' bills are debated and to support Mrs Margaret Greenwood MP for Wirral on her moving that the National Health Service she is promoting be read a second time.
Last summer it was 'talked out' when MPs who objected to the Bill prevented by parliamentary procedures a vote which would have kept it alive.
The Bill's importance lies in its aims:
1. to re-establish the Secretary of State for Health's legal duty as to the NHS in England
2. to make provision about the other duties of the Secretary of State in that regard
3. to make provision about the administration and accountability of the NHS in England
4. to repeal Section 1 of the NHS (Private Finance) Act 1997 and Sections 38 and 39 of the Immigration Act 2014, and Part 9 of the Health and Social Care Information Act 2012
It would end so much of the drive for the marketisation of the NHS. It would begin to give us back OUR NHS.
Margaret Greenwood MP has taken over the promotion of the successor to the similar measure which was put forward two years ago by Caroline Lucas, MP for Brighton.
