More than 5,000 petition over NHS changes in Cornwall

The Cornwall Council on-line register of paper petitions is a site worth keeping an eye on. For example, more than 5,000 have now signed this Labour-inspired one:

"Petitioners oppose the move of Adult Community Health Services, including the operation of the 14 Community Hospitals, out of the NHS to a Social Enterprise Community Interest Company and asks Cornwall Council to debate the matter at a full meeting of the Council so that all 123 elected representatives of Cornwall can consider the issue fully. It also requests that Cornwall Council carry out a referendum to see whether the people of Cornwall support (or oppose) this move BEFORE implementation by NHS Cornwall."

It must now be debated at the full council meeting on 29th March. Interesting.
