I wish to present to the House a petition from 62,000—[Interruption.]
Order. Will hon. Members please leave the House quickly and quietly?
I wish to present to the House a petition from 62,000 members of the community in south Yorkshire who oppose the possible closure of the heart transplant unit in Sheffield's Northern General hospital.
The petition states:
The Petitioners therefore request the House of Commons to urge the Secretary of State for Health to intervene to ensure the continued functioning and development of the cardio-thoracic transplant unit at the Northern General Hospital.
To lie upon the Table.
