Re:another signature

I add my support to Peedell et al's open letter to the BMA. In my
mind there is no doubt that, if enacted, the changes proposed in the White
Paper will further destabilise the NHS, result in a more inequitable
health care system and have detrimental consequences for wider society. I
urge the BMA to take a more public and robust stance to resist these
changes.
