Firstly; https://fullfact.org/economy/does-smoking-cost-much-it-makes-treasury/ Secondly; https://www.thedrinksbusiness.com/2015/09/alcohol-tax-revenue-outweighs-cost-of-abuse/ Drinkers and smokers, non drinkers, non smokers, please join my campaign. We all need the fabulous NHS .Please help me to petition the Government to give at least half of their revenue to the good old NHS, not sure where they're spending that money other than short films telling smokers and drinkers of alcohol to quit, better spent on the NHS I think. We may not all choose the same lifestyle but we should be able to decide where our taxes go and I want mine to be spent on the NHS, social housing and education. Put people first and bureaucracy last.

The population is living longer so more and more people will drop into being 70+. Surely a switch to a 75 year old threshold and then a yearly confirmation of healthy status, would be a much fairer approach!

Wastage of resurses and money

A&E departments are overrun with patients left in corridors or in Ambulances waiting in driveways of hospitals, Causing use of Private Ambulances to be used & Leaving Hospital Staff unable to provide an efficiant service thus threatening life

Government funding on the NHS has been systematically falling, as a percentage of GDP, since the Tories took office. Funding here, in GDP terms, is now amongst the lowest in Europe despite the fact that we are one of the wealthiest nations in the world. The NHS is close to the hearts of the British people, is something all tax payers contribute to and CAN BE adequately funded. It is a choice that this Government are refusing to make because, in truth, they are seeking to privatise it completely. HS2 is something unnecessary, something that will only benefit a relative minority and which will carve a mighty gash through our countryside. The saving of 20 minutes on a train journey should not be prioritised above the saving of lives in our A & E departments.

This very important because we need to help our children cope in society, prepare our children for a happy and meaningful life. My daughter is 12 years old, though out her primary school days struggled with going to school, crying a lot, her anxiety levels were through the roof. Only when my daughter was in year 4 the school had noticed my daughter had communication problems I was never told about until year 5. When my daughter was 3 years old I had taken to the GP, she was very violent so our GP referred my daughter over to the community paediatric services I got my local MP involved. After all those years of stress, anxiety, we finally received a outcome, on the 6th Dec 2016 my daughter was finally diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Surely penalising Women who have to have gynaecological operations, goes against equality at work laws ? Stress induced by bullying employers, or inflexible corporate dogma, makes hard working people more susceptible to other illnesses, putting good employees into a hopeless situation, demoralising them or, in the worst case scenario, facing dismissal for being unfortunate enough to experience several episodes of illness in one year. Employers know who the malingerers are ( or SHOULD, if they are decent employers). Good Employees need support when ill, NOT corporate bullying.

The UK would enjoy money from the extra tourism, the relocating the Houses of Parliament would save a lot of tax payer money. The old Houses of Parliament would become a bigger tourist attraction giving money back to the tax payers pot and put towards better healthcare and looking after the elderly.

It's being recommended that four cottage hospitals - Dartmouth, Paignton, Ashburton and Bovey Tracey - in South Devon are to close. At a time when there is a shortage of hospital beds and lack of alternative care arrangements for patients ready for discharge from major hospitals in the South West this decision is perverse and needs to be challenged

We call on MPs of all parties to attend the Commons on Friday morning, 24th February 2017 when Private Members' bills are debated and to support Mrs Margaret Greenwood MP for Wirral on her moving that the National Health Service she is promoting be read a second time. Last summer it was 'talked out' when MPs who objected to the Bill prevented by parliamentary procedures a vote which would have kept it alive. The Bill's importance lies in its aims: 1. to re-establish the Secretary of State for Health's legal duty as to the NHS in England 2. to make provision about the other duties of the Secretary of State in that regard 3. to make provision about the administration and accountability of the NHS in England 4. to repeal Section 1 of the NHS (Private Finance) Act 1997 and Sections 38 and 39 of the Immigration Act 2014, and Part 9 of the Health and Social Care Information Act 2012 It would end so much of the drive for the marketisation of the NHS. It would begin to give us back OUR NHS. Margaret Greenwood MP has taken over the promotion of the successor to the similar measure which was put forward two years ago by Caroline Lucas, MP for Brighton.
