Dedicated Military Hospital For UK Petition
Summary:Email forward asks recipients to sign an online petition calling on the UK government to create a dedicated military and veterans hospital within the UK (Full commentary below).
Status:
This is a valid petition
Example:(Submitted July 2008)
Subject: A Dedicated Military Hospital
A DEDICATED HOSPITAL WITHIN THE UK FOR SERVING MILITARY AND VETERANS
My understanding is that Selly Oak is good but it's just not able to deal with the numbers coming back. Like that outrageous business at Ashford where the NIMBY's tried to stop a Families Hospital near Headley Court , this seems to me to be one that the whole military family should get behind. As you will see below, time is short but it should still be possible to get some real numbers behind this one. If you feel able to help please sign up by visiting the link below, and also please pass it on. I'm not in favour to chain letters but this one really is worth it. They stopped road pricing because of the millions who signed one of these petitions - maybe we can do the same for a military hospital.
Please you will join this petition? Only 5000 people thereabouts have done this so far which is not a significant number when compared to other petitions.
Just some background, 2 Para alone have on this tour sent back over 50 casualties to the UK and from having been to Selly Oak myself I know that many cannot be accommodated so when all of the casualties from other battle groups are added to the figure, how is ONE ward in an NHS hospital going to cope? It cannot cope, the individual troops are sent home to recover relying on NHS visiting services which themselves are over committed.
A lot more than 5000 names are needed for this petition and quite cynically, Downing Street has put a time limit of one month for this to be achieved.
