Because the cost of hospital stays especially mental health wards is extremely expensive and I have two members of my family who are ove pensionable age and caring for both my mother and my father and they get now help from the government and my carers can be in minimum wage and working 12 hours a day sometimes without a break and they need more money to tske care of their childcare etx

I am a type 2 diabetic just been put on insulin very scary, after 4 days of blood testing sticking my fingers with needles 3 times more than I used to before insulin my fingers are very painful I am also on blood thinners which in turn makes it very difficult to stem the flow of the blood, I am now thinking this is for the rest of my life I need help this is barbaric and medieval this day and age sticking needles in your fingers any thing up to 8 times a day it is torture. So I searched the internet looking for some help and the only thing I could find was the LIBRE blood testing system where you do not have to stick needles into your fingers, as I read up on this system it explained how you put a censor in the top of your arm every 14 days and you can read your blood sugars via your mobile phone or the small electronic unit they supply. To my amazement as I read on that they do supply this system on NHS prescriptions I thought great what a savior, then I read on further they only give it to type 1 diabetics why I ask the illness is the same the treatment is the same there is no difference only the medical reason each individual was given as to why they are diabetic our treatment is exactly the same, we both inject and test our bloods up to 8 times a day, so please could you make this system available to type 2 diabetics on insulin.

NHS workers and staff deserve a proper pay rise. The government saying that 1% pay rise is enough is quite insulting, as the staff work hard during this pandemic to protect and care for patients, therefore it is unacceptable and may be the last straw for many employees. It is about time that a decent deal is made for NHS staff that is fair, necessary and affordable. It is time for Britain to speak up for NHS to put pressure on decision makers to approve of additional investment in health services and funding for a significant pay rise.

The UK should recognize her role in our vaccination success.

The amount of ladies having breast cancer is enormous and way too many are dying because screening isn't available until you are 50. I was one of the lucky ones at the age of 38 been diagnosed with Breast Cancer and now a survivor.

Womens voices need to be heard!!!! Stop fobbing women off with prolapses. Women can often be left in pain and fobbed off and left to deal with them and long waiting lists. Women often have to fight to be heard and for surgery

Elderly self funders in care homes, especially those with dementia, often lack mental capacity. They are highly vulnerable, and unable to discern good or safe care from bad, unsafe or abusive care. They are therefore NOT customers, which is how they're currently treated. They can't choose their care, and family advocates, especially in this pandemic, are too often unaware, or excluded, unable to support or protect their loved ones. If the Quality Assurance team is solely for social services funded people, its name should reflect its purpose, which is revenue protection.

This is important because too many people, friends and family are not getting the help they need when they call a crisis team, there needs to be a better infrastructure in place to guide people back from the edge and put things in place to get them the correct therapies and medications to help them recover.

Nurses within the NHS have put their lives on the line to save the lives of others suffering from coronavirus. They are our modern day heroes during this awful pandemic, the likes of which have not been seen for more than 100 years. How can we look them in the face when we as a country turn our back as soon as we feel the worst is over. We are eternally grateful to each and every one, please let us show that their efforts are recognised.

It is time to recognise the NHS staff for their dedication in what has been the most challenging of years which will reverberate for many years to come. Recovering from the pandemic will require unrelenting dedication and hard work. Send them to work feeling valued and respected whilst supported by a pay rise truly reflecting the appreciation and recognition of the impact the services have on our nation

This is a quick and easy method of continually being able to monitor blood sugar levels without the need to prick finger every time causing bruising, lost sensation in fingers and extra risk of infections. Not allowing this and leaving people to not control blood sugar levels satisfactory can lead to much worse consequences. Cost is always mentioned as controlling factor not your medical needs.
