UK Parliament Westminster Hall debate on Fibromyalgia Syndrome to take place

FibroAction is delighted to announce that the All Party Parliamentary group on Fibromyalgia Syndrome has secured a Westminster Hall debate on Fibro. Unfortunately, the debate is scheduled for Tuesday morning, leaving very little time.

The debate will be from 9.30am to 11am on Tuesday 5th May (next Tuesday). The time for the debate was only confirmed yesterday, so with the Bank Holiday on Monday, it's meant that preparations are having to be made very fast.

Please take the time today if you can to email or call your MP, explain that you are one of their constituents and that you have Fibro. Ask them to attend the debate on Tuesday. You can find out who your MP is and how to contact them using the Find Your MP website.

Hopefully the debate will be televised - if we get more details on this, we'll let you know.

Westminster Hall debates are also open to the public to attend (but obviously not take part in!). If you can make it to London for Tuesday morning, then it would be great to have some Fibromites there to show the MPs that we're interested in what they say and do about Fibro. For more information on attending Westminster Hall debates, please see the UK Parliament website here. Do please note that getting through security can take some time, so ideally you would arrive at the visitors entrance to the Houses of Parliament by around 8.30am.

Update

You will hopefully be able to watch the debate via the Parliament Live TV Website - click here on Tuesday.
