B Positive message resonates at Westminster
Upper Bann MP Carla Lockhart welcomed David and Sara Watson of B Positive to Westminster recently, for a series of engagements with the Government and Opposition Parliamentarians on support for families with a child with a diagnosis of cancer.

Commenting after the visit, the DUP representative said:
“It was wonderful to have David and Sara in London recently, to further advance the cause of support for families where a child has received a diagnosis of cancer.
Little Adam inspired so many of us to get behind the B Positive campaign. His warrior attitude in his battle against cancer was truly awesome, and if we can carry just a little bit of his legacy through by securing ‘Adam’s Amendments’ to alter the benefit system, then we would have a lasting and positive reminder of Adam for every family facing these difficult pathways.
We had very positive engagement with Maria Caulfield MP, Parliamentary Under Secretary in the Department for Health, and with Andrew Qwynne MP who is Shadow Minister for Public Health. We also met with the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, Chris Heaton-Harris MP, and the Shadow Secretary of State Peter Kyle MP. These meetings will hopefully kick start the process in Westminster whereby we can secure legislative changes to the benefit system to help families.
I want to commend David and Sara for their tireless campaigning on this issue. I will certainly continue to do all I can to support them in making these transformative changes to our benefit system, and look forward to ongoing engagement at Westminster to make further progress.”
