Growing discontent - petition to remove Hewitt from office

Amid growing discontent amongst front line health workers in the NHS, a junior doctor started a 10 Downing Street petition calling upon the Prime Minister to sack Patricia Hewitt. To date that has attracted over 3750 signatories, including a large proportion of frontline NHS staff[12]. Many front line health workers have also lobbied against Patricia Hewitt by sending her petitions and in specifics they opposed cuts to the NHS, and privatisation which the Department of Health (led by Hewitt) are aiming to do. [1]. Furthermore a recent survey showed less than 20% of workers for the Department of Health were satisfied with the way it was managed by Hewitt. [2]

[edit] Growing discontent - "She's the worst Health Secretary in the history of the NHS"

On 17th March 2007 over 12,000 doctors marched in London to object to 'Medical Training and Application System' (MTAS) and 'Modernising Medical Careers' [13]. This is the largest such march in the history of the medical profession. At that march David Cameron (leader of the conservative party) stated that there are people in parliament who have described Hewitt as the "worst Health Secretary in the history of the NHS" [14] - this was met with rapturous applause. At a simultaneous rally in Glasgow, calls for Patricia Hewitt's resignation by Graeme Eunson of the Scottish Junior Doctors Committee provoked some of the biggest cheers of the day.
