Campaign update

Tue 15th Jan 2008 by Ben Palmer.

This year I want to really widen the campaign efforts, and I've been really fortunate to have been introduced to a professional campaigner by my brother.

Gill Kirk of Lyric Communications is helping, pro bono, to plan and setup the next stages of the campaign, and we have many exciting ideas - so watch this space. A huge thank you to Gill for this.

In the meantime, I'd be really grateful to get a little bit of feedback to help us in our planning, so please spare a few moments to complete this survey - there are only a few questions!

    I am 38 weeks pregnant with baby no. 1. I am very lucky that my husband is a Dr. If not, i would be very concerned indeed about the level of medical care offered by the NHS.

    Mr Palmer, congratulations on all your hard work.
