Make life long anticoagulant therapy free on prescriptionI was diagnosed with a condition called factor v leiden mutation when I was 19. I have to take life long medication to prevent a fatal blood clot. I already have had 3 clots. One of which was multiple and on my lungs. I spent 48 hours in icu and a further 10 days on a hospital ward. After my diagnosis the rest of my family where tested as it is a genetic disorder. factor v leiden is just one condition that anti coagulation therapy is used for. I am 50 times more likely to clot than someone who dosent have this condition.40 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Lynne Turrell

Stop the sell off of NHS assets. Ditch the Naylor Report.I have worked for 42 years in the NHS and care deeply that it should not be privatised or sold but remain in public hands free for all to use. The Health Service Journal disclosed last week that the Department of Health was preparing to create six regional public/private partnerships covering all of England that would oversee sales of NHS assets (land and buildings). The plan, codenamed Project Phoenix, would see the proceeds from asset sales being shared between NHS organisations and private firms. Under the plan, London and the south-east would comprise one giant, and very valuable, area to speculators. Naylor proposes to make this compulsory. This is so WRONG.55 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Monica Carter

Keep High Functioning Autism as part of NHS diagnostic services.As someone with HFA, i feel this is hugely beneficial to the person and family involved. It could be potentially damaging to a childs future, if they were not to receive a diagnosis that could benefit them, their family and their education and unlock doors to them getting appropriate support.80 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Carly Considine Âû

Neha Chaudhry's Renewal of Visa applicationMiss Chaudry's walking aid could transform thousands of lives. But a technical error has left her in the situation of leaving the UK within 14 days or file an apoeal whuch does not automatically allow her ro file the correct version of this document.- an appointment's report detailing her status as a director of the company she founded. Unless the Home Office realises this was an unintentional mistake, we will lose the wonderful and frankly life-changing piece of equipment that will turn thousands, if not millions of Parkinson's sufferers. Many more younger sufferers are being diagnosed (http://www.parkinson.org/understanding-parkinsons/what-is-parkinsons/young-onset-parkinsons) each year. Andy Sinclair, director of Sysemia has said of Miss Chaudry " she has invented something that is socially, economically and morally a great thing to do ( source I Weekend) Please loby the Home Office to overturn this decision!!!15 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Pollyanna Stubbs

Push for schools to include mental health lessons on the curriculumThis is important since around 10% of children ages 8-14 have a diagnosed mental health disorder but a massive 70% of children struggle with mental health. This issue is also extremely important for boys and young men because the biggest killer of young boys and men is suicide. Finally as a OCD sufferer myself i know what it is like to have a debilitating disorder.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Emma Millard

Migrate NHS to LinuxThe NHS has just fallen victim of an international cyber-attack but what no one is talking about is how this was the consequence of a blatant error: placing our health system in the hands of a self-oriented international corporation. All the tax payers money used to acquire thousands of Windows XP licenses were simply wasted the moment Microsoft decided to discontinue this version of their operating system. The abandonment of support via security updates by Microsoft since April 2014 is at the core of the NHS' exposure to international hackers. Now the NHS, as well as other public services providers, are rushing to update their operating systems. But we cannot let them make the same mistake again. Moreover, newer versions of Windows also require faster machines, dragging the NHS into a huge expenditure which it can clearly not afford. It is time to move to a more reliable and cheaper alternative that is perfectly suitable for the computers the NHS currently has. Linux operating system is more than appropriate for the kind of tasks required, which are mainly office and data-keeping related. There are several UK based firms offering installation and maintenance of Linux operating systems in large scale. Such that as an extra bonus of this migration, our own internal market will be boosted, creating jobs and generating domestic income.

To reverse the new E-cigarette laws promoting smokingThe new laws will mean that the use of E-cigarettes will become more expensive which, in turn, could mean that many users of E-cigs will return to cigarettes. This is an awful example shown by the government as it is indirectly promoting smoking. Especially when smoking is far worse for you and have thousands of cancer emitting chemicals, whereas E-cig liquids have 4 ingredients which is proven to be a far healthier alternative.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Will Smith
