Our hospice petition goes viral with The Times and Daily Telegraph coverage
Thanks to multiple MP's across all parties now adding their name of support a final push on signatures should help us have this debated in parliament ASAP. Please ask your MP to add to our below Members of Parliament list Dr Simon Ophor (Stroud), Nigel Farage (Clacton), Stuart Andrew (Daventry), Sir Christopher Chope (Christchurch), include John Milne (Horsham), Paul Kohler (Wimbledon), Sir Desmond Swayne (New Forest West), Ayoub Khan (Birmingham Perry Barr), Jacob Collier (Burton and Uttoxeter), Luke Taylor (Sutton and Cheam).
This is a sample: -
1. Stuart Andrew (Daventry) “I worked in hospices for 16 years, so I am well aware of the challenges the sector faces and always happy to lend my support to the cause.”
2. Nigel Farage (Clacton) “The hospice sector is in desperate trouble, and every single one of us at one point will need to avail ourselves of it. I think [funding hospices with fines] would be a decent, magnanimous gesture and way of them saying sorry.”
3. Sir Christopher Chope (Christchurch) “I am very happy to support the campaign while recognising that all hospices would benefit.”
4. Sir Desmond Swayne (New Forest West) “happy to add my name. I am very confident of public support for the proposal”
