Earlier, our campaign clock ticked over and another milestone has been achieved! We now have more than 125,000 supporters. I would like to say a huge thank you to everybody who has taken the time to sign and share. Also a massive thank you to anybody who has contacted their local MP asking for support. The feedback from MPs has been incredibly encouraging - you are being heard .............
Yesterday my local MP, Kate Green, raised a question in Parliament asking for a meeting with the Department for Health & Social Care to discuss the campaign and it has been agreed. If you would like to see the full question and answer, please click here: Campaign Question in Parliament
I have asked Kate whether it would be appropriate for Dr Mohsan Ahmad (a dentist who is currently training others in specialised dentistry care for cancer patients) and myself to attend to present the campaign and proposed changes. This may not be appropriate for the first meeting but I will keep you updated.
This is the very first step and we have a long way to go but it's incredibly encouraging. Typically getting any change can take months and months but we have to start somewhere and this is a marathon not a sprint but I've got my long distance running shoes on!
Please could I ask that you continue to share this campaign and get everybody you know to sign. Just because we have 125,000 supporters (in less than a month), it doesn't guarantee success. We need as many as we possibly can so please, however you can, get our message out and more signatures!
