Fwd: Safer Medicines Campaign URGENT action alert

[Guest guest]

For UK folks - I don't normally forward on campaigning stuff, but this could help put an end to vivisection in the UK... and for once it's actually a realistic possibility, if only a bill can get put before Parliament...

Dear Friends,

URGENT! Help

us to seize today’s historic opportunity

Please contact the following 4 MPs individually today (normal rules about only

contacting your own MP do not apply) by email and 1st class post

(to: House of Commons, London SW1A 0AA):

Brian Iddon iddonb

David Chaytor chaytord

Andrew Gwynne gwynnea

Albert Owen owena

 

These MPs can table any Bill

of their choice on 16 December. 20 MPs were selected in the Ballot but only

4 (not 7, as previously stated – the number has been reduced because this parliamentary session is so short due to the forthcoming

election) will

get a whole day's debate.

 We recommend writing along the following lines:

“Congratulations on being chosen in the Ballot. Please would you use this opportunity to put forward the Safety of Medicines (Evaluation) Bill, tabled in the last session by a cross-party group of hon. Members? With adverse drug reactions increasing (hospitalising a million Britons every year) and the output of new medicines decreasing,

while their costs spiral ever upwards, it has never been more important to

assess the methods used to test drug safety.

There is strong evidence that human biology-based technologies

may offer significant improvements in safety as well as large reductions in

cost and time. The comparison of safety testing methods proposed by the

Bill is unprecedented and could benefit the NHS and patients dramatically.”

Please help us today to seize this historic opportunity!

I am pleased to tell you that Dr Bob Spink MP has re-tabled our

Safety of Medicines Early Day Motion in this new parliamentary session as

EDM 29, following its phenomenal success as EDM 569.

Please write to your own MP to ask them to sign EDM 29: Safety

of Medicines – taking the opportunity to thank them if they signed EDM 569

in the last session. This does not have to be done today!

 

With very many thanks for your invaluable support,

 

Kathy Archibald
