Create a National Day of Remembrance for frontline Covid 19 workersWe need a fixed annual day to remember these people, from many nationalities, who have / are supporting our UK NHS and associated health services. In particular, an opportunity of remembrance for the very many professionals who have lost their lives in their selfless fight against the Covid 19 Pandemic. We owe them all supreme gratitude for their dedication, in the face of supreme hazards to themselves.8 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Andy Sherriff

NHS Day.While the whole country now recognises the horrifying danger of COVID-19, we have all come to rely on the astounding courage and fortitude of our National Health Service to respond to its continuing effects. From paramedics and ancillary staff, to nurses and doctors, this extraordinary assembly has selflessly turned up for work, risked their lives for us, and in over a hundred cases, died for us. We now have the opportunity, on July 5th, the day of the inauguration of the NHS in 1948, to institute a National NHS Day, to be celebrated in perpetuity, to recognise our debt, and to join hands with our health workers on whose determination we all depend. Lets get this done, together.14 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Phil Gingell

Protect our NHS servicesThe NHS can be broken down into different services and those that could make a profit could be sold off, with the buyer having the ability to charge the NHS fees to use those services.17 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Billy Halliday

Write off Tuition fee for healthcare workersCOVID-19 has revealed the importance of frontline healthcare workers. We have recognised their vital existence in serving our society. We applaud them weekly to acknowledge their services. Many people who want to serve in the healthcare sector, work very hard to succeed in the rigorous selection process to be accepted for their chosen paths. However, a significant dropout cohort is pinned on mental health issues during their time at medical/health sciences schools. During their courses of study, they study alongside worrying for the accumulating interest added loans. Many healthcare students abandon their courses due to stress/depression/anxiety. Major cause of their anxiety is financial issues. Doctors and nurses finish their courses bearing the burden of £50,000 to £80,000 or more. For many, the uncapped interest rate spiralling their loan into a lifetime repayment is unbearable. We need to protect our doctors, nurses and all healthcare workforce. One way of doing this is letting them study without financial worries. We have seen them work tirelessly. It is high time now to let them serve the nation by writing off their ridiculous amounts of loan repayments. Please give them the financial relief that will truly be life saver for them. This is the recognition they deserve.26 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Samina Butt

Permananently abolish VAT on PPE for all Health Care Services.I was shocked to find VAT was applied to such vital equipment in health care, the 3 month holiday does not go far enough.21 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Marc Hughes

You can do more than clap.Clapping is not enough. So far, at least 100 health workers have contracted coronavirus and died and it is highly likely that more will in the future. Hundreds of people have lost mums and dads, brothers and sisters, sons and daughters, husbands and wives, partners and friends. Perhaps you have. The chief coroner has instructed coroners that they should not consider shortages in the supply of PPE in their inquests despite overwhelming anecdotal evidence that a shortage exists and that health workers have been dying as a consequence of it. Our health workers deserve our support. They face infection and potential death daily when they look after our families. They are there with the people that we care about when we can't be. If it matters to you that we listen to their concerns, that they are treated fairly and with respect, and that we keep them as safe as is possible in these extremely difficult and challenging circumstances then please sign this petition.8 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Bob Dixon

Wearing a helmet made mandatory for all cyclists.Because to many people go around without a helmet on if they were to fall for what ever the reason they could end up in A&E, thats an extra person in A&E, if its a serious fall it could and can be life changing injuries, it needs to be law that if we are out cycling we must by law wear a helmet.5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by John Holmes

Independent Inquiry into Lack of PPETo ascertain who was telling the truth, & be held responsible if they were knowingly lying. Be held to account for possibly being partially responsible for deaths that could have been avoided had the correct PPE been provided accordingly. We are talking here about ordinary people, husbands wives, fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, friends, friends of friends, relatives. Who may have been sacrificed by people trying to cover up.15 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Nick Wood

Key worker protectionIt is vitally important that they have just as much protection as the general public. I've heard many times that staff have been warned not to wear facemasks as they will frighten the public. This is totally unacceptable for all key workers.23 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Alan Wilcock

Introduce a full city wide smoke control area in Brighton to protect residents from harmful smoke38% of all particulate emissions are from burning wood and coal in stoves and open fires in people's homes. In Brighton it is legal to burn coal and wood in the most polluting of ways as there is only a very small (5%) smoke control area. Particulate pollution is a risk to health in Brighton as it regularly exceeds WHO 24 hour PM2.5 health guideline levels and often it is wood and coal burning that are to blame. I ask you to kindly support me in my request asking Brighton and Hove Council to bring in this standard regulation to prevent this most polluting form of fuel burning and improve the health of its residents. Smoke Control Areas (SCA) are used in cities and towns to regulate in which areas residents are allowed to burn coal, wood in open fires, wood in non exempt stoves and other requirements intended to reduce pollution from burning solid fuel. PM2.5 pollution is lower in cities that have a full Smoke Control Area. https://www.bmj.com/content/350/bmj.h2757/rr-1 The government is in the process of strengthening the regulations surrounding SCAs with the intention to improve air quality but in Brighton that regulation cannot be acted upon due to there not being a full, city wide, SCA in place. Please share and sign this local campaign to improve the air quality in Brighton.17 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Adrian Hill
