Asthma standards - more signatures required!

Since my last post there have been some exciting developments in our campaign to get national standards for asthma.
 
One of our closest supporters in Parliament is Howard Stoate.  Howard manages to operate simultaneously as a General Practitioner, Member of Parliament for Dartford and chair of the Asthma All Party Group.
 
He has tabled a motion setting out our campaign - you can track its progress here.

We are hoping to get 100-plus signatures, which would make it very hard for the Government to ignore our campaign. If you want to get involved, sign up to our e-campaign where you can contact your MP and ask them to sign the motion on your behalf. Our campaign is aimed at the Health Minister Ann Keen. She used to be a nurse - we’re hoping to appeal to her bedside manner so that she will prescribe asthma its very own clinical strategy.

As ever, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are leading the way with commitments for their own asthma strategies. About time that England joined in, don’t you think? As I’ve said before, it could save millions of pounds for the NHS – and I reckon the Government would welcome a few savings at the moment.
