we have reached a total amount of signatures of 18,887 as of this update. Tomorrow we close the petition to more signatures and get it ready for presentation to the Department of Health and Minister Harris. We will be at the gates of Leinster House from 11.30am on this coming Wednesday 18th April so please if you feel strongly about this issue join us there. Bring your poster and make your feelings heard. We, Grainne, Liz and myself, Davina, would like to thank you for all your support and for taking the time to sign the petition. To date Miniser Harris has NOT communicated with us and the original arrangement the ministers office made with us, that Senior Offficials would recieve our petition at Department Of Health, Hawkins House has now been changed to just dropping the petition at the reception of Hawkins House to be collected by them and given to Minister Harris. There would be nobody to officially recieve it from us which is very disappointing, and in my opinion just shows the level of disinterest the Minister and the Department of Health have in our welfare and health care. WE ARE WORTH BETTER TREATMENT THAN THIS. We will now present the petition to our Public representatives for the MInisters attention at the Gates fo Leinster House and we are hoping you will join us.
