SIA delivers historic petition to 10 Downing Street
Today marks a landmark moment for the Spinal Injuries Association, as we delivered our first ever petition to 10 Downing Street, calling on the Prime Minister to adopt the recommendations of the APPG for Spinal Cord Injury’s inquiry report, Fragmented to Coordinated: Building a National Strategy for Spinal Cord Injury.
The Chair and Vice Chair of the APPG for Spinal Cord Injury, Andy McDonald MP and John Glen MP, joined our Public Affairs team, SIA Ambassadors Dani Czernuszka-Watts and Zoe Fox, our Chair, CEO and Director of Programmes to hand in the petition.
The submission is backed by more than 180 signatories, including consultants and healthcare professionals across almost every NHS Trust, 7 of the 8 Spinal Cord Injury Centres, the Royal College of Nursing, people with lived experience, partner charities and Parliamentarians from both Houses.
This milestone reflects the growing national call for a coordinated, person-centred spinal cord injury strategy. We will continue working with Government and the NHS to ensure every person with a spinal cord injury receives the specialist care and support they deserve.
