My heart goes out to the family of two-year-old Faye Burdett, from Maidstone. They have been so brave and inspirational in their determination to make sure their daughter's death has not been in vain. They have launched a petition calling on the Governmnet to vaccinate all children under 11 against meningitis. I have been in contact with them and I have asked Jane Ellison MP, the Public Health Minister, for a meeting to discuss the petition. In future, let's make sure other families do not have to go through the pain and loss that the Burdetts are suffering.
You can sign the petition here.
