Petition For a Military Hospital
John Parry on Tue Aug 05, 2008 3:48 pm
I am sure that many of you as ex-sevicement will have relatives and/or know someone serving in the Armed Forces. I urge you to sign the petition below.
Just some background, 2 Para alone have on this tour of Afghanistan sent back over 50 casualties to the UK and from one who has been to Selly Oak I know that many cannot be accommodated so when all of the casualties from other battle groups are added to the figure, how is ONE ward in an NHS hospital going to cope? It cannot cope, the individual troops are sent home to recover relying on NHS visiting services which themselves are over committed.
A lot more than 5000 names are needed for this petition and quite cynically, Downing Street has put a time limit of one month for this to be achieved. At time of posting there are over 50,000 signatures on the petition. Could I also ask everyone to pass on this information to anyone they might think would be interested.
Do what you can. Please copy the link below to confirm your signature on the petition at the bottom of this email' When you have signed please check your email and click on the link from Downing Street to confirm your signature.
