| Dear David, In just one week, your MP has to vote on massive changes to our NHS. But 38 Degrees members now have something our MPs don’t – thorough, independent legal advice about what these changes really mean. Our expert legal advice is sobering. Despite the “listening exercise”, the government’s changes to the NHS plans could still pave the way for a shift towards a US-style health system, where private companies profit at the expense of patient care. MPs are being told by the government that the NHS is safe. If they read our evidence they’ll know that the spin doesn’t stand up. We can put them under massive pressure to vote to save our NHS. So we need to work together to get the legal advice to our MPs right now! Email your MP now: Our independent lawyers identified two major problems in the new legislation:
So who are MPs going to listen to when casting their vote – you, or lobbyists from private health companies? This is our NHS, and it’s up to us to defend it. Email your MP now: It’s pretty extraordinary what we’ve managed to achieve together already. Nearly half a million of us have signed the petition to save the NHS. And after Andrew Lansley announced the last round of changes, thousands of 38 Degrees members immediately chipped in to get top independent legal advice on the new plans. Barrister Rebecca Haynes found that the government's plans could pave the way for private healthcare companies and their lawyers to benefit most from changes, not patients. Another barrister, Stephen Cragg, found that we were right to be worried that Andrew Lansley was planning to remove his duty to provide our NHS. This is the conclusion of a top legal team paid to have no other interest at heart but yours. MPs vote in just seven days. Seven days to not only get the evidence, but be convinced there’s way too much public concern to ignore it. The good news is, with over 800,000 of us now armed with expert legal advice, we are just the people to speak up. Let’s give MPs from all parties the mandate they need to think again and vote against these changes to the NHS. Johnny, David, Cian, Becky, Hannah, Marie and the 38 Degrees team. NOTES |

Sacral Neuromodulation for Urinary Incontinence
The success of sacral neuromodulation (SNM) for faecal incontinence (http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0090429505005340; http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0022534705677282) and recent FDA approval in April 2011 (http://wwwp.medtronic.com/Newsroom/NewsReleaseDetails.do?itemId=1301684726845&lang=en_US) as prompted interest in providing similar results for urinary incontinence, especially when all other treatment have been exhausted.
Early evidence suggests this novel technique may have a role (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20186953): 10 patients were treated in this test of concept. Another 34 patients were treated in a study published in 2005 (http://assoalhopel.dominiotemporario.com/doc/sacral_neuromodulation_I.pdf): sacral neuromodulation is a viable option for the treatment of refractory urinary urge incontinence that occurs after stress urinary incontinence surgery. Older women with no pelvic floor activity who are remote from their incontinence surgery may have a suboptimal response.
A London Clinic already offers SNM for urinary incontinency (http://goo.gl/mLmsp) so it may become another part of the arsenal for managing what can be for some women an awful emotionally challenging condition

Good essay bemoaning the monopoly academic publishing has on information which is often publicly funded.
