MPs are debating Specialist Commission this Thursday 15th January.  Please write to your MPs enlisting their support and ensuring that they attend this debate.

This is relevant to you because in the future Birdshot will come under specialised Commisioning  and we need to make sure we get good services. At the moment, the government is trying to squeeze funding away from specialised commissioning and you may already be aware that they are planning not to fund anti TNFs  (drugs like Humira and Infliximab) for people like us.

Below is a draft of a letter that you can alter as you wish to send to your MP.
