Stand up for NHS funding in Thurrock: Jackie Doyle-Price
Our NHS needs extra funding urgently. Please represent your constituents by asking health minister Jeremy Hunt and chancellor Philip Hammond for more funding.
Why is this important?
NHS bosses in Thurrock are drawing up plans to cut and close local services. The plan is short on detail - but there’s a £630m funding gap across Mid and South Essex. Three hospitals and potentially two of the area's A and E’s could lose services. It looks like big changes are on the table.
Cuts and closures aren’t the only option. If the government gave the NHS the money it needs, it’d mean decisions like these could be made with patients in mind, rather than saving money.
We're calling on our MP, Jackie Doyle-Price, to stand up for the NHS in Thurrock. So far, it doesn’t look like she’s said much. But if thousands of us sign a petition asking her to demand the NHS gets more funding, it’ll show her that she needs to speak out.
