It's important because they are using techniques which give you a little and take a whole lot more back like a stereotypical drug dealer offering you a little try to get you to buy into it... I believe it's a scam and only destruction can come from it to the majority.

These plans will lose more than 300 acute care beds, and London will lose a hospital with a world class reputation for treatment. This is important to me on a personal level as my mother was treated there during her illness and received really excellent treatment. Here are the key findings of the Independent Healthcare Commission regarding the closure: - There is no completed, up-to-date business plan in place that sets out the case for delivering the Shaping a Healthier Future (SaHF) programme, demonstrating that the programme is affordable and deliverable. - There was limited and inadequate public consultation on the SaHF proposals and those proposals themselves did not provide an accurate view of the costs and risks to the people affected. - The escalating cost of the programme does not represent value for money and is a waste of precious public resources. - NHS facilities, delivering important public healthcare services, have been closed without adequate alternative provision being put in place. - The original business case seriously underestimated the increasing size of the population in North West London and fails to address the increasing need for services.

this health board has not consulted with the public ..nhs staff.. or involved unions....... they are 70 millions in debt already and want to sell off land occupied by 10 community hospitals to help pay for a new hospital on green belt land 40 miles from the nearest town .... none of this has been costed in any way including access , staffing levels etc...please help to get this to public debate before they ride roughshod to get their

Students experiencing mental health difficulties need to be supported by their University as fully as possible. Being given access to the university mental health services is not always substantial. Students should be empowered to help themselves. Moderate exercise has been proven to help improve mood and general well being. Therefore, there should be no barrier preventing individuals from being able to attend regular gym classes. Classes can be expensive, and for those who find it difficult to motivate themselves in the first place, the cost of the class can be a further disincentive. Furthermore, financial hardship at university can be inflated by the experience of a mental health problem. Giving those with a diagnosed condition free access to the exercise program encourages them to take positive action to help themself. Better mental health can result in improved academic performance, and being part of an exercise class can improve someones mood and self esteem by enhancing their feelings of belonging within a community. Please sign this petition to encourage the University of Strathclyde to create a system which gives those with a diagnosed mental health problem free exercise class access/ passes.

Air pollution can permanently damage children's developing lungs and has been linked to a lower IQ later in life. Air pollution has been implicated in 40,000 premature deaths in the UK already, and it's only going to get worse. 2,091 schools, nurseries, further education centres and after-school clubs in the UK are within 150 metres of a road with illegal levels of nitrogen dioxide. Is it too much to ask that schools should offer our kids a safe haven from air pollution, not worsen their health and damage their future prospects?

Because otherwise this sets a precedent for the NHS denying treatment for certain groups.

The umbilical cord can be matched with a child to use in cancer treatment and any other medical treatments.

It is not morally right that those injured during their service to their country should be denied their awards

It is severely effecting the welfare of animals in the sea and in the wild. It is a great step to ruling out single use plastics in the United Kingdom.

Type I diabetes is treated with insulin injections and the diabetic is responsible for the dosage. Diabetics must constantly monitor their blood sugar by pricking their fingers and carrying out a test, they must then adjust the dose of insulin they give according to the results. This is not an exact science and many diabetics do this 10 times per day and during the night. If blood sugar is too high the diabetic may go into a coma, if blood sugar is too low they will suffer rapidly increasing disorientation, If this is not treated they will go into a coma. Low blood sugar can be treated by eating something sugary but it is a frightening and dangerous thing. Flash Glucose Monitoring enables the diabetic to see their blood sugar in real time, 24/7. It also indicates whether blood sugar is going up or down allowing the Diabetic to react accordingly and giving them confidence about how they are likely to feel and how much insulin to use. If you broke your leg and you were offered a wooden splint and some bandages when plastering, pinning etc were available you would find it bizarre and cruel. Denying Type 1 diabetics access to up to date technology is equally cruel and the situation needs to be rectified as soon as possible

This is important for local health and wellbeing is represented by local people and democratic scrutiny. Until now all councillors have done is put cuts through and been hoodwinked by some CEOs of Trusts, on the HWB that do not care of the local population only payouts by big insurance companies trying to take over UK healthcare services.

Women's health issues can be very traumatic to deal with in terms of the emotional impact procedures such as hysterectomy can have. This can be worsened substantially when they have to try to do so in Maternity Units surrounded by others who are pregnant. Whilst the treatment itself may be gratefully received, this practice can worsen the impact on their mental state, slow their recovery and ultimately, cost the NHS more in the longer term. It is insensitive and inhumane. Woman are people, not just bodies and should be treated such.
