A PETITION with almost 500,000 signatures has been handed to Bury North MP David Nuttall.
Others in Bury are now being urged to sign the petition launched by national campaign group 38 Degrees.
The group has collected signatures from across the country to fight NHS reforms being considered by the Government.
A representative of the group visited Mr Nuttall’s Bury office on Friday to hand over a copy of the petition.
Janet Dunnett, of Ramsbottom, is urging people who are unhappy with the proposed changes, to write a letter of objection, or sign the petition.
The petition calls for the Government to save the health service from being privatised; listen to doctors, nurses and patients’ warnings about the plans; test changes properly before pushing them through; and protect patient care.
Ms Dunnett said: “I’m sure there are lots of people in Bury who are unhappy about the changes, patients or workers, but don’t know the different ways they can protest about it.”
