Petitions

Nic Dakin Excerpts

Tuesday 27th March 2012 Commons Chamber

[Nic Dakin (Scunthorpe) (Lab)]

It is fitting that just before the recess I should be presenting a petition against the Health and Social Care Bill, as it has dominated our proceedings in recent days. I commend in particular Karen Walker for her work in helping to gather the signatures on the petition.

The petition states:

The Petition of residents of Scunthorpe,

Declares that the Petitioners are opposed to the reforms to the NHS that will be brought about by the Health and Social Care Bill as the Petitioners believe that they will damage the quality of services provided by the NHS.

The Petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urges the Government to reverse the reforms to the NHS brought about by the Health and Social Care Bill as soon as possible.

And the Petitioners remain, etc.
