LIBDEM SHADOW HEALTH MINISTER AND WORCESTER GP ADD THEIR SUPPORT TO ‘SAVE OUR
NHS’ RALLY
More support has been announced for the ‘Save our Health Service’ march and
rally scheduled for 11am next Saturday, 10th March in Priory Park, Malvern.
Rally organiser and Liberal Democrat Parliamentary Candidate for West
Worcestershire, Richard Burt today said that Worcester GP, Dr John O’Driscoll
will join Independent Health Concern MP, Dr Richard Taylor and Malvern health
campaigner and town councillor, Pat Merrick on the march and rally.
Dr O’Driscoll, who is a member of the Local Medical Committee, will explain how
exaggerated claims about health services that do not meet up to reality can lead
to public dissatisfaction with the treatment they receive.
Liberal Democrat Shadow Health Minister, Norman Lamb MP has also posted an
audio podcast to Richard’s website org underlining
his support for the rally and calling on local people to send a clear message to
government about Whitehall mismanagement of local health services.
Norman Lamb MP said.
“Patricia Hewitt claims she believes in local decision making, but the reality
is very different, with everything dictated from the centre in Whitehall.
“I urge people to attend Richard Burt’s Worcestershire NHS rally in Malvern on
Saturday to add their voices to the call for more local control of our NHS
services.”
Ends.
