The Solution: In order to do this, stores need to take responsibility for boosting the awareness and sales of cruelty-free brands. To do this, stores should create specific sections where shoppers can view and test a selection of popular cruelty-free products. These sections need to be visible to customers, and attractive. In addition to this, stores should make a push to educate customers about the benefits of buying cruelty-free products instead of animal-tested ones. If all these efforts are made by popular high-street stores, the number of brands switching to cruelty-free practices will surely increase.

Possible wastage of medication - and those unused couple of tablets have to be disposed of somehow - landfill or contamination of water supplies?

Such cars are a major health hazard and should not be plugged in glamorous TV adverts without a major warning being placed in a prominent position on such adverts.

Because of the way there health is for number of reasons they should be able to have a choice of being assessed at home or the centre.

Junior doctors should not be required to these long shifts- it is dangerous for patients and doctors themselves

Personally, I have lost a cousin, two aunts and my mother to bowel cancer, and all but one of them were over the age of 74. I live every day wondering if this simple test could have saved them.

Millions of women are currently unable to obtain HRT patches/tablets either at all or no guarantee of continuous supply leading to debilitating symptoms. This is completely unacceptable that women are left in this situation with nowhere to turn. Many women are having to eek out their current supply if they have it with no hope of obtaining more or dealing with a lottery system with chemists who have no idea of future stock or availability.

Subtitles, on TV programmes do not always appear. When they do they can often appear patchy or intermittent making it very difficult for deaf and hard of hearing people to follow tv programmes. Live programmes eg news are very difficult to follow. Technology should be able to automatically put on screen words just spoken on live programmes. Subtitles vary across TV channels. There should be a uniform minimum standard. TV Subtitles should not be huge chunky lettering that takes up nearly a third of the screen. People who depend on subtitles can be embarrassed by the way the size of the subtitles make it difficult for other people watching to enjoy the programme. Subtitles should always be included on dvd/bluRay discs of TV shows and films for sale in the shops. Loop systems Organisations that have a loop system installed use an approved logo to indicate this. But there is no guarantee that the loop system will prove satisfactory to people who wear hearing aids. This is because they vary enormously across the country and there is no national minimum standard for how they are supposed to work. Many loop systems are inappropriate for the size of the building with poor training provided to office/building support staff who are often left unable to help. People who use loop systems frequently discover that the reception they receive varies from one building to another. There doesn't seem to be a national monitoring scheme that can ensure high standards of loop system are provided and maintained so that people who use loop systems do not need to worry about being able to hear differently wherever they go. Hearing organisations and charities can have the ability to regulate this vital area that affects people who use hearing aids every day. Government needs to pass the necessary laws to ensure improvements are made to both subtitling and loop systems across the UK.

ALMOST 200 tonnes of cigarette butts are littered across the streets of our region every year, according to a new study. The report found smoking materials make up 35 per cent of all street litter, with 11 tonnes discarded daily. Tobacco is the world’s leading cause of preventable death, accounting for around 6 million deaths each year. That’s thanks to the cocktail of over 5,000 chemicals in cigarette smoke, of which at least 70 may cause cancer. E-cigarettes, on the other hand, do not contain tobacco. Instead, they carry a nicotine-containing liquid which is heated into a vapour and breathed in. The nicotine satisfies the cravings associated with a smoking addiction, but doesn’t cause cancer. So although E-cigarettes are not perfect, they don't carry this huge annual cost of cleaning up the waste, like normal cigarettes do. This petition is calling on the health secretary to introduce an outright ban on normal cigarettes and stop the huge waste problem it causes every day.

One in eleven children in the UK suffer from asthma which is higher than any EU country and rising faster than any other EU country. Researchers have found 3.5 times the exhaust fumes in lungs of children in low prams compared to what is in their mum's lungs because they are at a higher position. They are recommending higher prams and using side and not main roads. The ongoing cost to the NHS must be huge plus the human misery resulting.

48% of people with epilepsy in the uk have refractory epilepsy (not controlled). This places them at increased risk of death and injury. In the uk deaths from epilepsy have increased 70%. Many people would benefit from a change of licence for epidiolex which has been shown to help in these cases but are been denied it due to current licensing guidelines. Sadly families and individuals are suffering currently due to the current situation.
