Free University for Medical StudentsIt has been announced there is a worrying shortage of Doctors and Nurses to ensure the NHS can continue to operate. Currently we are bringing people from overseas but failing to encourage our own to study Medicine. The cost of going to University is a big ask of anyone thinking of taking up a career that will not reap rewards for many years. For Nurses it is even harder as they will not get to be in the higher paid salary bands of top Surgeons. In return all students must commit once qualified to a minimum of 5 years working within the NHS. This ensures the taxpayers investment in their careers has a satisfactory return and we all see a properly staffed NHS for the future.16 of 100 SignaturesCreated by John Armstrong-Coulson

Save Our North Derbyshire HospitalsDue to government cuts Hospitals around North Derbyshire are being closed. Our standpoints should be taken into consideration due to the harmful effects which would occur if this beneficent petition were not to be signed. Factors such as travel would become problematic especially for the elderly relatives having to use public transport in rural areas such as Bakewell and surrounding villages. The staff would have to be relocated perhaps to a less convenient area which may extend their working day and affect their life/work balance and would cost more in travel. Overcrowding would be seen in the larger hospitals which would have a drastic impact on waiting times. These are just some of the multiple problems North Derbyshire would face in the shutting down of some of their many hospitals. To also show support it would be very beneficial if you would come to the meeting in the County Hall in Matlock at 7pm on the 24th of July.81 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ella Lemon

Wipe off the parking ticket fines from NHS staff. And allow free parking for the future.NHS staff are vital in the UK. They save lives and shouldn't be penalised for it. There is no justification why they should be charged were they park their car using private car park companies in fines. It's disgusting to think it's actually happening. Needs to be resolved.8 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ozi Lopez

More peak time carriagesThe travel conditions are worse than the underground. We are squashed in like cattle taking up isles and all areas. We have the right to a seat for what we pay or to be able to at least stand comfortably.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Gina Bartlett

Sterilised and SUFFERINGThree years ago I thought that sterilisation was the best decision for me and my family but it turned into my worst nightmare possible. Like so many other women, I have been suffering in silence and it is destroying our lives. The pain, discomfort, depression, family upset (and so much more that we have to live with every day might have been avoided had we been advised correctly initially. Because PTLS is not yet a recognised health issue, women are not getting the medical help and support needed. Woman are getting into debt taking out loans to pay £1000's of pounds on private surgery for clip removal or having reversals so they can live a normal life. Personally my life hit an all time low where I considered extreme solutions to end it once and for all. It was a shared post a friend showed me that made me realise others were having similar issues with sterilisation and I started to research. This condition is real, so many women have contacted me to share their story. Other countries recognise it yet the UK remains blind to it. We ALL deserve quality of life and all we ask is that condition is researched properly, supported with dignity, explained more clearly initially and symptoms dealt with after professionally.64 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Kirsty Tietz

Treat drug use as an addiction not as a crime...Despite the fact that I am in agreement with drugs being illegal in the UK. It is to my concern that punishing drug users as criminals causes more harm to the users. Many of these people are pressurised members of the population between 18-29 year olds, who use drugs as an escape from real life troubles.11 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Joseph Stevens

Bring back the nit nursesWhile most parents regularly check their children for head lice some do not. The children of those parents continuously spread head lice through the schools, causing discomfort, distress and financial burdens on every parent with a child of school age. In the last four weeks we have had to treat our son for head lice four times and that is not an uncommon situation. Each time my son has been very distressed about it and despite us assuring him that it is not his fault he still says it makes him feel dirty. While I know that head lice treatment can be provided on the NHS for those parents who are unable to afford it this is not always freely given and is only provided for the child of school age. The problem with this is that the infection will usually be spread throughout the family thus only treating the child will not solve the problem. The nit nurses provided a bottle of treatment to use on the entire family. For those parents who simply do not check their children, whether out of ignorance or laziness, the nit nurse is a good tool for encouraging them to do so.13 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Dawn Jones
