MPs asked to support blood campaign (From Echo)

This is Tory NHS privatisation so don't expect any support from our local MPs
The Bedford labs are run by a private company who also run labs in London with many issues and they don't have to travel 80 miles!

The lack of protest from local MPs, for what is so obviously a worse service for people in South Essex and may well lead to premature deaths, absolutely STINKS in my opinion. I hope any MPs that have the guts and moral fortitude to say so come out and voice their true feelings on the matter.

Maybe then people will take voting more seriously next time around, particularly if one of their family or friends has suffered (or even died) as a result of this "money-saving" scheme.

They will do sweet fanny adams! The voters in this are are thick; we get nothing from Labour as they will never get elected and we get nothing from the Tories as they don't have to worry what they do as they always get elected. Why don't some of you sharpen up and do what's right for all of us who live here and vote useles wastes of space such as Duddridge and Amos out. Wales has no traffic and hardly any population you bufoon Duddridge.

Don't expect any support from that useless tub of lard Duddridge. This proposal is a direct result of the tory plan to erase the NHS.

The idiot even revelled in trying to repeal the human rights act: http://bit.ly/VKFeAQ

From what I have read, Dr Husslebee was the lead on this idea, and it does appear that local GP's (who have remained very quiet on the subject) approve it.

It supposed to be discussed in PPGs but we only learned about the possible transfer from the Echo, we are not kept informed.

I believe Dr Husslebee was involved in the private hospital adjoining his surgery (Highlands) which I believe failed financially so can we trust our local NHS let alone MP's, or Dr Husslebees judgement?

CCG's are about making money, not providing care!

Get involved with your CCG on line at ccg.nhs.net and make sure your voice is heard.

Too many GP surgeries are now depriving us of patient choice and we need to have a voice and make sure it is being heard!

The mp's don't want to do anything as this service is being privatised. And they stand to gain financially from these private companies another example of the government selling of the country. It will soon be will the last service please shut the door when they leave.

Duddrige and Metcalfes' quotes are insulting to say the least ,where IS the suport from our MPs, is Amess still hiding in a Cafe i'm surprised at the lack of support from Mark Francois but not Baron. Why isn't there all party support across the board on this matter? come on all you Councilors get your fingers out and support the people eleted you all.

I agree with you runwellian.
I thought the job of a GP was to care for patients. It seems that Dr Husselbee spends more time trying to make money! Check out the link below

Interestingly a number of these private ventures have failed! What business does he have in deciding the future of pathology services?

James Duddridge, Conservative MP for Rochford and Southend East, previously said: “Blood testing has been transferred to another location in Wales before, and it was done so with relatively few problems.

“I understand it is worrying to hear about a change like this, but that does not always mean a worse service.”

Key words here are "Relatively few" and "Does not always" both of which are Tory speak and both are meaningless. "Does not always" can be translated as "Usually does" and "Relatively few" should be used with data that would allow the relative proportion to be calculated. Day by day the "Same old same old" gains in strength. I wonder when this mob will be once again caught using the postal votes of dead people?

Do you wonder which parts of the EEC they wish to opt out of? Those silly human rights and minimum pay things, for instance? Look around for heavens sake!

MP's are back stabbing, publicity seeking losers.

They talk about 'better value service'

Utter complete and total cr8p anyone with half a brain must agree that in this area blood testing works very efficiently, why risk mistakes in transit and administration, delays and confusion it ain't broken so why fix it?

It is all about saving pennies and losing pounds.

The same is quietly happening with all public services that in years gone by worked well with reliable, proud, well trained staff that felt part of something, now it is 'just a job' I.e Police, Fireman, nurses, postmen.

And as for MP's yuk, yuk, yuk.

Come the election they will suffer.

Duddridge is very proud that he voted to repeal the EHRA. See his Tweet about it:

How soon after this will he be voting to abolish the minimum wage? They liked life the way it was in the late 19th century. I bet none of the working classes will though, and, as last time, lower middle classes will be next. Still, what do I know, I am a dinosaur I'm told.
Only thing is, we dinosaurs have watched it all go by us before. Greed will rule forever I think.
When they have what they want, they will call you all to fight their war. shame really, thought we'd civilised.

I emailed Mark Francois (my MP) more than a week ago complaining about the proposal to transfer blood tests to Bedford. I have yet to receive reply. I think this says it all about his interest in his constituants welfare.
