Dear john,

Thank you for signing our petition to Cameron. So far over 16,000 people have voiced their disgust at the government's mercenary plans.

It's a start, but we can't risk letting the government get away with selling our blood by privatising the National Blood Service.

I knew that this was an important matter for the country - an issue that will shape the future of the NHS - but I have been overwhelmed by the incredible stories that our supporters have been sharing.

Everyone from medical professionals, to grateful patients, to proud blood donors have spoken against these sick plans to sell blood. People like Janet, a nurse who says:


"I've seen countless patients benefit from the generosity of strangers... How dare this government even think of privatising this service, it is immoral and disgusting."

And loving relatives like Dave, whose son became very ill after his appendix burst and was only saved by the altruism of an anonymous blood donor. Dave says:

"Profit through illness is immoral, end of."

i have given over 100 litres of blood and my family and we are all rare blood group neg

if they go ahead with privatising it we will not give any more . it is a disgrace cameron should hold is head in shame
