Acquired Brain Injury Bill reception in Parliament. Meet your MP there.

On the heels of Chris Bryant's Knighthood, he brought the ABI Bill to parliament which was passed. Over the last year the consultation period has been done. There is a reception in parliament on the 1st of February where you, yes you reading this, can meet your MP there, you first need to go through a simple process to invite your MP. Here's a link to the UKABIf newsletter, click on the Acquired brain injury bill reception link and this should bring you to the page, just follow the instructions if you are interested.

The aim of this I imagine, is to get you to influence your MP in potential up coming votes on the changes that should take place this year.

If you want a decent system with a good diagnostics, rehabilitation package and care package then you know what to do.

Another option is to directly contact your MP and ask them to support the process.

Is this subjecting a person with a TBI could attend the meeting in parliament or just send a letter asking your mp to attend it?

[Hidden in reply to Plenty]

You can go if you follow the instructions to register and meet your MP there.

it’s not at all clear on either the website, or email I’m a member they used to pre covid do talks which I liked to see now and then.

[RogerCMerriman in reply to Plenty]

seems to be both! I believe mine (mp) is involved but have emailed to confirm and guess see if I end up going or not!

[Plenty in reply to RogerCMerriman]

I’ve emailed them, but no reply or confirmation. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[RogerCMerriman in reply to Plenty]

mp or parliament? My MP reply but parliament email addresses hasn’t responded but well it’s few months to go.

[Plenty in reply to RogerCMerriman]

ok, and what did your MP reply say?

[RogerCMerriman in reply to Plenty]

she is going/involved anyway she didn’t give details! But yes she replied did you email your address some MP will not respond unless you confirm your theirs as you were?

[Plenty in reply to RogerCMerriman]

I emailed my MP using the letter template available in the link. They have my address, but no reply yet.

Hopefully they can offer me transportation down to London, or at least put it on their expenses 😉👌🤣😂

[RogerCMerriman in reply to Plenty]

not something I’ve asked but then I’m a direct train ride away, more concerned with finding my way around parliament and that sort of organising which I suck at!

This assumes it goes ahead and all that!

[Plenty in reply to RogerCMerriman]

Can you DM me if you get any details please. I’ve emailed both my mp and the email address asking you to confirm attendance, but know reply from either.

[RogerCMerriman in reply to Plenty]

will do I suspect nothing will happen for ages! Frustrating as I like to know what I’m expecting so I know how to deal with it.

Just to let you know that due to strike action from multiple unions including those representing teachers and civil servants, a decision has been made to postpone the Acquired Brain Injury Reception on Wednesday 1st February to Wednesday 10th May from 1pm to 4pm in the Jubilee Room in Parliament.
