GENERAL ELECTION — Parliamentary Candidates Survey — Your help needed

Does the quality of care for kidney patients matter to you? If the answer to this question is YES, then we need to take action en masse to ensure that this is also a priority for the next Government. We cannot take a commitment to this care for granted. The future care of kidney patients is in YOUR hands so PLEASE take action.

Attention Everybody

A General Election is imminent, and the NKF needs your help NOW.

During the last parliament there were 175 members of Parliament and Lords who supported the needs of kidney patients in Parliament. They did this in a number of ways, including joining the All Party Parliamentary Kidney Group, which was, and is, a very powerful voice, and very helpful.

It is essential for the welfare of kidney patients that we enjoy the same level of support in the new Parliament – that means approaching the parliamentary candidates now, before polling day.

How do I find out who my parliamentary candidates are for the main three political parties?

The NKF asks you to do four things:-

  1. Write your name and address in the top right hand corner of each survey form (click here to download the form – PDF, 89kB)
  2. Find out who the three main party candidates are in your own constituency
  3. Ask those three candidates to each complete one of the survey forms, and return it to you
  4. Send the NKF the completed survey forms.

This is important work that may well have a bearing on the level of renal replacement therapy over the coming years and the quality of life that our patient members are able to enjoy.

Please help – don’t put these in a drawer and forget them.

The NKF urgently needs your support and help with this task.
