Best not rush into it and get it wrong. We should wait and do it properly rather than quickly and poorly.Over the course of the next few weeks we can co-ordiante how best to arrange group petitions,and lobbying to the powers that be!

... bearing in mind that with health being a devolved competence, 'the powers that be' are not the same in England as they are in Scotland. :D

Works for me, as would a 'cross border' campaign, working with both jurisdictions at the same time. The sense that somebody else is about to move can shift even the most entrenched establishment. :D

Just because you don't live in a particular area doesn't mean you cant show your support.

We all sign the Downing Street one and if there is a simialr one for the Scotish Assembly we all sign that to.
