Updated List of MPs who have been contacted
First of all - woohoo! Have you seen the campaign now has over 187,000 signatures? My next goal of 200,000 is within touching distance! If we get to 200,000, this campaign will be one of the most signed on Change,org and it means that there's a real feeling that "something must be done". So I'm delighted with the progress. Thank you! Without you, this wouldn't be possible!
In the meantime, we need to keep putting pressure on the Government. The only way to do this is to get as many MPs involved as we can. We now have 5 MPs (that I've been told about) who have promised to raise questions which is excellent but I'm afraid we need more. As I mentioned in an earlier update, MPs only correspond with their constituents so I'm relying on your valuable help to reach out to them.
Below is a list of 67 MPs who have been contacted regarding the campaign in the past few weeks. They have all received the pro forma letter asking them to take action. Even if your MP is on the list, it's worth contacting him/her again because the more the merrier!
If you would like your MP to take part, you'll find wording you can cut and paste into an email and I've detailed how to find your MP's email address with just one click. The whole process should only take 10 minutes of your valuable time but that 10 minutes means the world to the campaign. https://www.change.org/p/free-dental-treatment-for-cancer-patients-change-the-law/u/29338113 Once done, please could you comment below with his/her name and the constituency so I can keep a record of who has been contacted.
I'm also detailing below a list of 49 MPs that were contacted in late 2019/early 2020 just before the pandemic hit. If one of those MPs is your MP, could you please email them the pro forma letter (as above) as they will have slept since you last contacted them and perhaps need a bit of a nudge again!
