  • CUT THE COST OF EMERGENCY CONTRACEPTION‎
    This is an outrageous tax on women. Women in the UK are paying 5 times more for emergency contraception (EC) than women in other countries. In many European countries and across North America women are able to pick up the morning after pill straight off pharmacy shelves without questioning. On average women in the UK are paying over £15 more than women in other countries in the EU. Research by the British Pregnancy Advisory Service shows women feel they are being punished by the high price of EC, which overwhelmingly falls to women, and that the pharmacist consultation can feel embarrassing and intrusive. While EC can be obtained for free f‎rom GPs and contraceptive clinics, appointments can be hard to obtain in the window needed. Women rely on buying EC from pharmacies when they cannot get a timely appointment - a particular problem for women with work and childcare commitments. National pharmacy chains should not be exploiting women in need. It is not good enough that they only offer free EC schemes to younger women, when women of all ages use EC! They have the power to dramatically improve access to EC by halving the cost - they should do so now.

  • NHS Dentistry
    Clinical Dentistry has during the last ten years become increasingly marginalised and inaccessible for both Dental Clinicians and patients alike. As a Dental Therapist since 1976, working within NHS Dentistry, it breaks my heart to experience the demise of such a crucial health service for those that need it most and especially when advances in technology and materials can offer so much more! Wake up Jeremy Hunt! Catherine Chalmers-Lefebvre B.A. (Hons), E.D.Tg

  • Save Sandwell Family Nurse Partnership
    The Family Nurse Partnership works with pregnant mothers across Sandwell District aged between 14 and 19 years of age. The Family Nurse supports and promotes a healthy pregnancy, working with families throughout pregnancy, supporting managing labour and helping to improve babies and toddlers development until the age of two years. We also help young mothers future aspirations and support them to develop positive relationships with their child. There is proven evidence to suggest that the mums and dads who take part in the family nurse programme are more likely to achieve what they want for themselves and their children, including maternal self sufficiency. Recent evidence suggests that the Family Nurse Partnership appears to improve early childhood development and can protect children from early identification of safeguarding issues. If the Family Nurse Partnership is decommissioned there will be a gap in service provision and young people and their children will be disadvantaged further.

  • Stop Sainsbury's selling carcinogenic weedkiller Roundup
    It has been said by WHO to be probably carcinogenic. I walked into my local Sainsbury's and saw it on the shelves there. Maybe all the other supermarkets sell it too?

  • Save Poole Hospital A&E and Maternity
    Our A&E and Maternity units at Poole Hospital are essential for local people. The road networks between Poole and Bournemouth are dismal and travel times are very unpredictable, particularly during the summer season. This means that the proposal for closure of these essential departments is extremely worrying. Local A&E staff, paramedics, doctors, midwives and police all have deep concerns about these departments being closed or relocated since longer journey times can put lives at risk. Poole Maternity unit currently caters for mums from a wide geographical area and travelling to the proposed new site in Bournemouth would be time consuming for pregnant women and their families which could potentially result in delays in treatment and care. Poole Hospital needs to keep its successful maternity service so it can continue to provide safe and effective care to the community. Other departments within Poole Hospital will also be put at risk if the A&E unit closes including Paediatric and Neo-Natal care - this is appalling for local people. A&E and Maternity units are vital services for patients - why should people in Poole be put at risk by poorly thought through and misguided cost-cutting like this? PLEASE STOP THIS MADNESS.
