Right. Gloves off, letter writing time (I know, I know, such fury, but keeping it civilised..)

I want to spend my week composing and writing letters, emails and missives to whomever is most effective. I want my damn voice heard.

I am not on Twitter, so can’t do any of the twitting stuff.

So: my MP. Already done but will do again.

Anyone got a link to where individuals can respond to the consultation?
who else?

Any official bodies/individuals who need to hear our voices?

We need to stand up and be heard here. Where do we target our letters of protest?

@Lang - I'm happy to write to everyone! does anyone have a kind of template or standard points to make list?

Find your small, local, women's orgs and children's orgs and ask them if they intend to respond to the consultation. Point out safeguarding issues. I've done this and two are going to respond - very concerned re: safeguarding.

I was thinking about this Bowl and I think it may be useful to consider other avenues. There will be individuals and organisations not neccesarily aware of the fuller picture.

For example you may be a member of professional bodies etc and understand the wider consequences which are relevent/may impact their work.

I also wonder whether amongst MPs and ministers it may be useful to direct concerns to those with specific briefs which may also be directly affected.

I was talking with a friend of mine who is a nurse practitioner about the article in the independent re smear tests. She was very concerned about the obvious issues raised:
