Talk

Hi all,
We'll make sure Andy Burnham sees the questions about the HPV issue but can we suggest that you don't ask any more on the same subject as there really is no point - we'll remove any further ones on that issue so it doesn't totally dominate chat.

Thanks

Seriously folks - enough with the HPV vaccine posts now please. We'll do our best to ensure that Andy addresses the issue.

Sorry that it feels like silencing Chrissie, but Mumsnet webchats are primarily for Mumsnet users to talk to the guests and we do take action if it feels as though there's an awful lot of posts by brand new members on a single issue. There are 6 or 7 posts about the HPV vaccine now so the issue has definitely been effectively raised, and as we said we'll do our best to make sure Andy addresses it during the chat.

No! Justine and team are en route to Andy's office right now.

We'll see if we can do some back-end trickery to stop the derailing - thanks for the reports

Andy Burnham's running a tad late but shouldn't be too long now before we get started.

Hello Andy

We've been contacted on Twitter by Your Voice Matters, who are campaigning on neglect and abuse in care homes, and they wanted us to pass on the following message:

'We need a voice for social care, the forgotten partner in care. Andy Burnham is the only candidate interested and has given us time out of his busy schedule twice this year. He feels like the last hope for social care and what we fight for. He has experienced it and understands. Power, money and fear rule our care home sector. Our elderly deserve better, so do exploited care home staff. Families need to know their loved ones are being cared for with dignity and respect. A massive thank you from us for pledging your continued support. Jenny, Ian and Christina"

Eek - not that Harriet! This is a member of staff on Andy Burnham's campaign
