Thyroid Petition Debate at Scottish Parliament on Tuesday 5 Feb.2013

Since TPA’s inception in 2007, we have written to numerous individuals and organisations in our endeavour to ensure that the present diagnostics and treatment protocols will be investigated and, where necessary, changed, so that all sufferers of thyroid, and thyroid related conditions will be given a correct diagnosis and treated with medication appropriate to their specific needs. We have sent official complaints to the Human Rights Commission; Liberty; the Department of Fair Trading; the Charities Commission; the Secretary of State for Health (Scotland and England); the Secretary General and many others. Almost all of our letters and complaints have so far been ignored, or rejected, as they have been with other thyroid campaigning groups.

TPA will not give up - we are fighting for you.

We were thrilled to have been invited to a meeting with Elaine Smith, MSP at the magnificent Scottish Parliament Building in Edinburgh last year. The outcome of that meeting was that it was agreed that a Petition should be submitted to the Scottish Parliament Petitions Committee who would decide, in a case of dispute, whether it is admissible and if so, what action should be taken.

As far as I am aware, the Scottish Parliament is the only Parliament in the UK where a petition may be brought by an individual person (other than a member), a body corporate or an unincorporated association of members. The English Parliament requires 100,000 signatures before they will decide whether a Petition is admissible to be debated.

I am now delighted to inform you that a Petition entitled “Effective Thyroid and Adrenal Testing, Diagnosis and Treatment” has been submitted by Scottish residents Sandra Whyte, Marian Dyer and Lorraine Cleaver (all members of TPA) and this Petition will be discussed initially, in Parliament on Tuesday 5 February 2013.

The details of this Petition can be read here and you can watch the live debate of this initial discussion here .

After the initial discussion on Tuesday 5 Feb.2013, the debate will be open to all who wish to submit comment and/or present further evidence for those who wish to support our cause.

TPA is strongly supporting this Petition by presenting the Scottish Parliament with extra evidence, supported by references to research studies.

It is vital that the Scottish Parliament is made as thoroughly aware as possible that the success of this Petition would have a crucial and positive impact on the lives of tens of thousands of their fellow citizens (and potentially millions worldwide) - so please do whatever you can to help.
