I will do so Ann. Would you like me to post this on my FaceBook news feed? :-)

Before Christmas, it was revealed that private companies like Serco and Care UK are putting lives in danger. They’ve been cashing in on contracts to provide GP services at the weekend and overnight. Now it looks like they’ve not been doing a proper job - and lives are at risk as a result.

There’s a powerful committee of MPs that has the power to do a proper investigation into their behaviour - and stop them getting further contracts if they’ve been doing a bad job. But there are lots of demands on the committee’s time. They’ll only investigate if they know there’s great public concern.

Together we can show MPs that an investigation is needed now to make sure no more lives are put at risk. The Public Accounts Committee has a strong track record at holding big bosses to account – at the end of last year they grilled Google, Amazon and Starbucks about tax dodging. Now is the time to demand they do the same for the bosses of private health companies.
