NHS PETITION UPDATE
"Save Whipps Cross"
The petition organised by local Lib Dems, protesting about cuts in local health services and backing Whipps Cross Hospital, goes on, but a large consignment of signatures has now been packaged and sent off. One petition has been delivered to the Chief Executive of Waltham Forest Primary Care Trust; the other goes to the Secretary of State for Health, Patricia Hewitt MP.
The number of signatures sent so far is OVER 1350. A further consignment will be sent at a later date, keeping up the pressure.
The petition is made up of a) reply-slips from FOCUS leaflets, many with personal views and comments added; b) some door-to-door collections of signatures; and c) hundreds of signatures collected at two successful street campaigns in North and South Chingford.
