8 July 2004, Official Trust Launch at House of Commons
On 8 July 2004, the official launch of Breakspear Hospital Trust was hosted by sponsoring MP, the Rt Hon Michael Ancram QC MP, at the House of Commons, London.
Over 70 guests attended including Dr Jörg Carstensen, Medizinaldirektor of Medizinischer Dienst der Krankenversicherung Schlewig -Holstein (Medical Director of the Medical Directorate of the Health Insurance Authority, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany) and many members of the press specialising in the medical field.
Breakspear Hospital Trust chairman, Ron White, opened the event with a speech and visual presentation on the objectives of the Trust. He then introduced the Trust's medical advisor, Dr Jean Monro, and host, Michael Ancram.
Michael Ancram's daughter, Lady Clare Kerr, was treated successfully for Myalgic Encephalopathy (ME) at Breakspear Hospital and she has written several published newspaper articles on her experience.
The Breakspear Hospital Trust will continue to raise money for further research by Breakspear Hospital and will also help fund visits of patients who would not normally be able to afford the private hospital's treatment
