London 1st April 2011
Thank you for contacting me to raise your concerns about the future of the NHS. I'd like to reassure you that I am completely opposed to these changes and will of course vote against them in Parliament.
I have also signed the 38 degrees petition and hope that it gains the 350,000 signatures it is aiming for. I am actively campaigning against these proposals and agree that the cuts are not only damaging to the NHS but will have a dangerous impact on service users and health care professionals for generations.
I have been lobbied by a huge number of people about this issue including Doctors, long term patients and service users and I share their anger about what is being proposed. Earlier this week I met with my constituent Dr Richard Vautrey the Deputy Chair of the BMA's GP Committee who talked me through his concerns.
I have written to the Health Secretary about this issue on a number of occasions and will continue to oppose and scrutinise their plans. I do not think it is an exaggeration to say that if these proposals go ahead it could be the end on a publicly owned National Health Service in England.I hope my response is helpful to you.
Fabian Hamilton
Labour MP for Leeds NE
