From PN's local MP
Thank you for communicating your recent concerns about
funding for the prevention of HIV. I received several letters about this,
and was interested to hear about constituents' concerns about this matter
with regard to the new Primary Care Trusts. As you requested, I have passed
your comments onto Yvette Cooper MP and of course, will keep you informed
of the result.
Kate Hoey, MP for Vauxhall, House Of Commons
Talk is precious
Thank you for including my comments on the services, or lack of, in north
London on the UKC Positive Voices Forum. Just before Christmas I visited
the North Middlesex Hospital. I met a former 'service user' (ugh, I hate
that phrase) of the much-missed FACTS clinic. He was still depressed over
the closure of FACTS, and his poor physical health means he simply cannot
access The Globe or Lighthouse. How many more are out there like him?
The authorities have always had one thing on their side - our poor lack
of quick communication, and our inability to call for advice or help from
others. Your forum can greatly lift that impediment.
Kevin Greenan, London N17
Thanks, Mancs!
Tell us more about Manc artist Gary Cartwright. He seems to have the right
idea. I was on the verge of giving up until I read his story. He has taught
me to put my anger into fighting back and not giving up. Will he be coming
to London again? If so, when?
