To prevent these potentially toxic drugs being over-prescribed to under six year olds causing possible neurological harm and consequent serious side effects before a young child's brain has finished developing to maturity. Several professional bodies for child mental health workers actively share this concern about the short and long term risks to the children affected by these increasingly common 'quick fix' medical interventions for behaviour management.

After a 5 year fight, our landlord is demanding a huge sum of money for repairs bills and that we vacate our premises, destroying the business we've worked so hard to build up over the past 6 years. We've established a lovely spiritual community here, employing many therapists who provide help to many in need of healing. All we ask is for justice to prevail.

Residents are concerned about the effect on their health and wellbeing of demolition and construction work on the site taking place over the next 20 years. In particular, we note that there is asbestos contained in Earls Court Exhibition Centre One building and that its removal (particularly from the roof and external walls) could represent a major threat to residents' health. It is particularly important to carry out a review now, as there are reports of plans for increased density on the Earls Court and West Kensington Opportunity area which will have a major impact and have not been assessed. The assessment should consider all the risks to health and wellbeing which include pollution, traffic congestion, noise and vibration, air quality and asbestos removal. Local residents, business owners, workers, trade union branches and tenants associations must be consulted on who carries out the independent assessment and its terms of reference. The health review should be: completely open, transparent, independent and comprehensive with all documents made public. Kensington and Chelsea and Hammersmith and Fulham Council to hold public hearings where local residents can present their own evidence about the health risks and decisions on the findings of the assessment take place in public.

All the maternity and women's health provision of Liverpool was pulled into this one site. It's a much loved hospital. It provides crucial specialised care and the daily joy of new babies. #one born. The driving force for closure is a clumsy funding structure not the needs of women and babies. The alternative of wards in the new Royal is not an equivalent. This is a modern hospital on a good site.Our taxes built it for our babies and for our women.

The community of Falmouth, Cornwall, is facing a very real health issue and NEEDS YOUR HELP! As of March 20th 2015 GLYPHOSATE, the active ingredient in RoundUp weedkiller, was re-classified as “probably causes CANCER” by the WHO (the World Health Organisation). Most of the community are unaware this weed killer is used in ALL parks and play parks in Falmouth; including Kimberley Park, The Bowling Green Play Park, The Princess Pavillion and The Dracaena Centre. GLYPHOSATE stays active in soil for up to 6 months. This is scientifically proven; Neutralization upon contact is a marketing myth. Children and dogs may still come into direct contact with the chemical (and may ingest it) when playing in areas, which were sprayed weeks or even months previous. Babies may crawl and dogs may sniff where GLYPHOSATE is used The areas are UNMARKED and NOT cordoned off; there are no warning signs! This chemical is also scientifically linked to Autism and Parkinsons; though the more common effects include Asthma, Eczema and Allergies. Please see links below for further details if required. It's imperative to the health and future of the community of Falmouth, Cornwall, that WE help ban this unnecessary chemical, from one public park at a time. This isn’t political; it’s just practical. If you're happy to have dandelions instead of probably CANCER, please sign this petition and share it with your friends. Thank you. http://www.iarc.fr/en/media-centre/iarcnews/pdf/MonographVolume112.pdf http://www.epa.gov/safewater/pdfs/factsheets/soc/tech/glyphosa.pdf http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/science/science-news/11487118/Weedkiller-alert-over-cancer-link.html http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2015/mar/21/roundup-cancer-who-glyphosate- http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/health-news/roundup-weed-killer-can-probably-cause-cancer-warns-who-10124812.html http://www.i-sis.org.uk/Why_Glyphosate_Should_be_Banned.php http://people.csail.mit.edu/seneff/glyphosate/Seneff_AutismOne_2014.pdf http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2315057/Is-worlds-popular-weed-killer-causing-Parkinsons-New-study-shows-Roundup-herbicide-linked-cancer-infertility.html http://www.foe.co.uk/sites/default/files/downloads/impacts_glyphosate.pdf

There are currently 115,000 people living with the condition in the UK. Crohn's disease can affect people of all ages, including children. However, most cases first develop between the ages of 16 and 30. The number of teenagers with Crohn’s disease has jumped more than 300 per cent in the last 10 years because of junk food and the overuse of antibiotics. According to figures from the Health and Social Care Information Centre, some 4,937 16 to 29-year-olds were admitted for treatment in England between 2003 and 2004, but last year the figure rose to 19,405. People with Crohn's disease can experience periods of severe symptoms followed by periods of remission that can last for weeks or years. The symptoms of Crohn's disease depend on where the disease occurs in the bowel and its severity. In general symptoms can include: Chronic diarrhoea, often bloody and containing mucus or pus Weight loss Fever, abdominal pain and tenderness Feeling of a mass or fullness in the abdomen Rectal bleeding This research is based on the same approach as the cure found for smallpox. Edward Jenner introduced a new term to the language when he ‘vaccinated’ (Latin vacca, cow) a boy in 1796 with matter taken from a cowpox lesion on a milkmaid’s hand. Jenner’s technique, in which he introduced a weaker viral type into the human body, was much less risky than the hitherto inoculations of Variola major. A set of similar circumstances has again led the medical profession to discover an immune system in cows and the research and trials in America and Israel are based on this finding.

Any cuts to this vital service would cause real hardship to the less able in many parts of Wiltshire

We hear about overspending NHS trusts but much of this arises from central government policy to reduce public expenditure without fully appreciating its implication. A recent 38 Degrees campaign refers to changes in medical advances which uses stem cell replacement to treat for bone cancer. Something not available 20 years ago. I recently lost two family members to bone cancer and was advised this was not available. Looking at the local trust it is because it is running short of funding! The public needs to agree what it requires, the NHS decide how much this will cost and the Secretary of Health and national government advise how much this will cost in taxation. The public then have the choice as to whether to accept the increase taxation or accept a lower level of NHS service. At present the public have no choice in the matter. Personally I prefer to have a NHS service I can rely upon rather than a service which is underfunded or a private sector which is constrained by profits and contracts. I hope you support this petition

The WRAG is a group of people with lived experience of mental health conditions. They have experience, past and present, of using mental health services, receiving benefits and working. This manifesto is supported by North East together (NEt), the North East regional network for people with lived experience of mental health conditions. Work capability assessments are part of a rigid system which relies on the assumption that just because a person can force themselves to carry out tasks, be around people and cope with unexpected events then it means they can and should do that in the workplace. It does not take into account the way that mental health is a fluid, uncertain concept and that a timeline of recovery cannot be predicted in the way that one recovers from a broken leg. We as human beings progress best when we feel able to go at our own pace and make choices about how we increase activity in a way that is meaningful to us. This is where work capability assessments get it wrong and are counter-productive. The tough regime and low benefits available on Job Seekers Allowance increase pressure on people with mental health conditions. JSA robs a person of their security as life becomes a constant battle to make appointments, attend meetings and apply for jobs in the fear that if they don't they will be sanctioned and their basic access to food and shelter will be compromised. This system creates a vicious cycle for us all; we feel disempowered, helpless and disrespected. It breeds anger, anxiety and meaninglessness. It disincentives progress and recovery. The DWP takes the view that the country needs to get back to work, and yet it has rolled out a vicious and unsupportive programme which delays people's recovery and made it harder for people to get back into the workplace. The DWP clearly has not responded to the evidence of increased mental health difficulties, reliance on food banks and suicide linked to the changes in the welfare system. They would probably claim that the system is working as unemployment has decreased, though how long can an employment boom based on zero hours contracts and self-employment last and it is at the expense of harming a huge number of people who are struggling with their health; who want to help themselves and yet are left feeling distressed and helpless in an unsupportive system that doesn't want to hear the shades of grey in "work capability". Our Manifesto What we, people with lived experience of mental health conditions, users of mental health services, carers, families and friends need: No More Work Capability Assessment • Create a fairer system: one that treats people with mental health and physical conditions equally. • Recognise that people cannot recover while living on or below the poverty line. • Stop sanctioning those affected by mental illness. Fund Services that Meet Our Need • Commission services that support wellbeing as well as respond at times of crisis. • Provide recovery focused services that provide continuity of care across all parts of our lives. • Encourage, stimulate and invest in services that are user led or co-produced. • Resource independent support for service users to be involved in the commissioning, design and improvement of the services they use. • Commit to parity of esteem between physical health and mental health care and make sure people with serious mental illnesses have the same life expectancy as those without. Support us in Meaningful Activity • Support us in activities that enable recovery. This could be via therapy, peer support volunteering, education or paid employment or something else. • Value our contributions to communities in the roles we choose. • Support to help us into employment should be available for as long as the individual needs it. Make Mental Health Everybody’s Business • Everybody has mental health. Promote wellbeing of mind and body. • Educate children about mental wellbeing in schools from starting school. • Promote programmes that encourage employers and employees to treat people with mental health conditions with more respect whether they are customers or members of staff. • Support people with lived experience to lead, deliver and be involved in these initiatives. • Make Workplaces More Mental Health Friendly by raising awareness of mental health conditions with managers and employees. Everyone has a place in society

Cancer patients in Staffordshire should know that the people caring for them are in the business of saving lives, not making money. There’s no justification for privatisation on this scale, ordinary people in Staffordshire haven’t been properly asked what they think, and if this deal goes through, we’ll be stuck with it for 10 years - and it could open the door for sweeping privatisation of our NHS across the country. As someone who lives in Staffordshire, I don’t want our healthcare in the hands of profit-hungry private companies. This contract is an untried, untested 10-year-long experiment and we can’t let this happen. If our CCGs don’t pull out of this deal, our money will be profiting shareholders rather than improving care. Let’s stop this in Staffordshire, and put the brakes on privatisation across the country.

1)The Breast Cancer Unit at Ysbyty Gwynedd , Bangor has been created over many years by a team of highly motivated , highly skilled and passionate staff that go above and beyond to offer the best care available to the patients and families of Breast cancer sufferers. It cannot be destroyed by this callous move. 2) Time, Distance and expense of travel for patients and loved ones make this move unacceptable . It removes support contact from patients who are already experiencing unbelievable fear, upset and pain . A major part of the repair and healing process during this time is provided by this support. It cannot be removed from the patient's reach as it destroys any concept that the NHS is there to treat and care for all members of the community.

This is important because the mismanagement within the NHS has reached epic proportions due to budget cuts and staff shortages. The staff that are there are so overworked that they are getting really exhausted, depressed and are looking for other avenues to get out despite their passion for the job at heart. In the last few years the system has deteriorated to such an extent that nurses feel that the current system is failing them. Nurses are currently 4 times more likely to commit suicide, and doctors twice likely to kill themselves, than people outside the healthcare profession - such are the current stress and depression levels in our healthcare system. I am appalled to see that bankers are getting millions in bonuses, while our humble nurses are being grossly exploited and are being taken advantage of their good and helpful nature. I think we as a nation need to at least treat them well and improve their working conditions here - they did not come into this profession to be PUNISHED. As a nation, we the people of United Kingdom, demand better working conditions for our healthcare staff.
