Sharron Storer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sharron Storer was a resident of Birmingham, England, who became famous in 2001 for publicly criticising British Prime Minister Tony Blair during the 2001 British General Election campaign about conditions in the National Health Service. The widely-televised incident happened on May 16 during a visit by Blair to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham. Sharron Storer's partner, Keith Sedgewick, a cancer patient with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, was being treated at the time on the bone marrow unit there, but no bed could be found for him.[1][2][3]
