Stop HS2 and fund NHS shortfall insteadGovernment 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.95 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Rebecca Elliott

More SEN Training for teachers and TA'S in schoolsThis 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.228 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Andrea Yates

Women`s HealthSurely 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.7 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Keith Bennett

Houses of ParlimentThe 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.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Vicky Weller

Stop the Closure of South West Community HospitalsIt'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 challenged46 of 100 SignaturesCreated by David Millar

Call to MPs from all sides to support Margaret Greenwood on 24 FebruaryWe 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.27 of 100 SignaturesCreated by David Owen

STOP HOSPITALS REQUIRING PASSPORTS BEFORE TREATMENTMany of our poorest, and the long-term sick will not have these. They have no use for them if they are too sick to travel and are often too poor to afford them thanks to cuts. A close friend of mine, whose chronic ill health stems from an injury she sustained whilst teaching in a state school, has neither the use for or the means to pay for either a passport or a driver's license. Check out the story in the The Independent http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/nhs-hospitals-20-forced-show-passports-id-health-tourism-crackdown-healthcare-jeremy-hunt-government-a7530931.html28 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Evelyn Corney

Reverse the decision to undertake a split consultation concerning the Horton General Hospital.To allow split consultation would be dangerous - paving the way for an easier path to downgrade acute services at the Horton General Hospital which will have the most dangerous consequences on the residents of the Banbury area.81 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Roofus Delaney

The NHS NEEDS more fundingAs a front line worker I have witness the 24/7 hard work it provides from the beginning of life right through to the end of life. It is a huge part of all of our communities and a major part of uk citizens lives. Recently the British Red Cross reported the NHS is in a 'humanitarian crisis' it is and the government want to sit back and let it be lost. Majority of the U.K. use this service, once it's lost the majority of the U.K. Will not be able to afford healthcare. Let's fight for our NHS!!!!! Don't let them take it away!!! Healthcare professionals, nurses and Drs are under paid and unable to strike ( not that we want this). The older nurses and Drs have retired, most have left because of the pressures and there isn't enough student intakes to repenish staff shortages Because of money, pressures, fees and childcare. Leaving a massive shortage mixed that with the increase of patients. This extra money will help fund services and new/more staff. So please save our NHS.12 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Hayley Wright

Make VW pay NHS for diesel car health effectThe consequences or a company's deliberate avoidance of healthcare measures (such as NOx control measures) must be punishable by compensation and/or costs to all affected parties. The NHS and taxpayers should not have to carry the bill for this type of profit enhancing avoidance measure. In this particular case (VW 'dieselgate') it seems likely that the NHS will be the largest single financial loser and should therefore seek to recover costs.12 of 100 SignaturesCreated by David Cooper

Morgellons Patients are human BeingsThis is important because there are hundreds of thousands of people around the world suffering this horrendous affliction and we are being ostracised and denied treatment. We are frightened to speak out for fear of being sectioned because psychiatrists threaten to use the mental health act this illness is physical we need it to be taken serious as this can only be looked on as lawful genicide if not treated. It's also important because thousands are terrified to talk about this affliction for fear of their family and friends ostracising them i have personally been threatened with the mental health act if i dont take the antipsychotic drugs against my will this needs to stop today right now we are all sufferring because the medical profession refuse to test us for Lyme disease which can show if we have Morgellons we get refused many blood tests that could be of great help this is why it's important to validate this microscopic pathogen that destroys the human body slowly but surely. It is important as Human rights are being infringed ! All based on fact. William Windsor-King January 201787 of 100 SignaturesCreated by William Windsor

" Right to Die"We do not allow an animal to suffer, how can it be possible to allow human beings to die in agony, or pumped full of drugs so they are unaware of anything or anyone, and become a vegetable causing suffering to family and friends, and loved ones are "Legally"persecuted for assisting a loved oneto end their life, when it should be a legal right to do so.5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Dave Coppard
