For a good life, without religion

A cathedral celebration for the NHS?

Posted by Margaret on Friday, Apr 18, 2008

Ann Keen, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Health, has written to the BHA about the planned celebrations for the 60th anniversary of the NHS, including a “national service of celebration” for NHS staff, patients and stakeholders to be held in Westminster Abbey on 2 July. The BHA wrote back to ask why a national institution is being celebrated with a religious event that will exclude many people involved with and committed to the NHS.  If you count yourself amongst “NHS staff, patients and stakeholders”, you can write to Ann Keen MP at the Department of Health, Richmond House, 79 Whitehall, London SW1A 2NS or email her at annkeenmp@parliament.uk.
