NPA petition: Million signatures by end of week
The petition to Downing Street is growing by 30,000 signatures per day
The National Pharmacy Association (NPA) expects its petition against the pharmacy funding cuts to pass the one million signatures "milestone" by the end of the week.
The organisation is “confident” it will reach this goal, following a “bumper” crop of 45,000 signatures submitted on Monday, it told C+D yesterday (April 26).
The paper petition against the Department of Health’s (DH) proposals has already racked up more than 900,000 signatures and is continuing to grow at a rate of 30,000 per day, NPA head of communications Stephen Fishwick told C+D at the time.
"This is now one of the fastest growing and most supported petitions in the UK,” Mr Fishwick added.
The NPA is now considering the best date to deliver the document to the DH, it added.
