During the pandemic, and over the last 75 years, our NHS and its dedicated workers have provided us with the critical health care we need in our daily lives. But right now, the NHS is struggling and could reach breaking point unless we act. According to 38 Degrees research: • 50% of us in Birmingham, Ladywood have said that we or a family member had experienced difficulty booking an appointment with a local GP in the last year. • 14% of us in Birmingham, Ladywood are reporting bad or very bad health, up from 6% in 2011 • Nationally the number of people reporting bad or very bad health in Great Britain has DOUBLED since the 2011 census - from 6% to 12% • Up to 2 million people are effectively on an NHS “shadow waiting list”, waiting to be referred for primary care treatment The Government has failed to fix this problem in their backlog plan, and we need that to change. Steve Barclay, as Secretary of State for Health, is responsible for fixing the backlog in England. There's still no meaningful plan to address access to primary care, despite how important this is to the public. We are demanding that Steve Barclay urgently publish and deliver a REAL, properly resourced plan to tackle the backlog in primary care. Until then, we'll all still be waiting.

A petition submitted to the General Synod is passed to the Synod's Business Committee to identify how best to respond to it within the Synod's procedures. One way is for a full debate on the topic.

It is intended to submit this petition to the Meeting Of The General Synod which will take place in York in July 2023 NOTE ABOUT SPONSORSHIP OF THIS PETITION: This petition has been created by some members of ABEL - Against Bullying, Encouraging Love - a voluntary, non-profit group of researchers and specialists in the area of bullying in churches.

The council say 'high oil price - no money'. We say.... A Missed opportunity to experience nature and the outdoors. A Missed opportunity to improve public mental health through exercise. A Missed opportunity to bring people into the town centre. A Missed opportunity to boost struggling businesses. Open the Pool on May 28th as usual - it is not a dispensable, last on the list, afterthought - it is a valuable public asset in a beautiful setting. Support the pool, let's get it open, let's send the Vale of the White Horse District Council a message. We have one of the most beautiful locations of any pool in the country, such a waste!! In 2018 the Tories got the pool refurbished. Come on Lib Dems You've got total control of the council – show us you can make it work for people of Abingdon. Don’t let us down!!

This roundabout is crossed by many pedestrians and cyclists in order to get to school, work and to access shopping and leisure facilities. It has become increasingly busy and dangerous to cross here, where there are currently no controlled crossings: a pedestrian crossing is urgently needed, as proven by a recent Council traffic survey. Our children have been sworn and shouted at when trying to cross on their way to school - very intimidating when you're just 12 years old. A local lady contacted us recently to say she was nearly run over when trying to cross that road to get to work on the Granby estate. Parents who drive their children to school past the roundabout report how vulnerable people are when trying to cross there. The Council has a duty of care to provide safe routes to school; a controlled crossing MUST be installed as quickly as possible, before any accidents resulting in serious injury or even death occur.

Current cautionary guidance from Food Standards Scotland(FSS) is clear, but requires further updating following new data from the European Food Standards Agency, suggesting the exposure of young people to farmed Scottish salmon needs to be further reduced. The most up to date guidance concerning oily fish consumption can be found on the FSS website. This recognises that these fish can contain low levels of pollutants that can build up in the body. For this reason, there are maximum recommendations for the number of portions some groups should be eating each week. The following people should eat no more than 2 portions of oily fish a week: - girls - women who are planning a pregnancy and women of reproductive age - pregnant and breastfeeding women This is because pollutants found in oily fish may build up in the body and affect the future development of a baby in the womb. Pilgrim House, Old Ford Road, Aberdeen, AB11 5RL www.foodstandards.gov.scot However, a recent study in Europe found that exposure to these chemicals may need to be reduced by up to 75%, for both boys and girls. Meaning that children should be consuming no more than 50gms of farmed salmon per week. https://efsa.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.2903/j.efsa.2018.5333 Current Government policy is to promote increased consumption of farmed Scottish Salmon in schools. Scottish salmon also has a range of very severe environmental impacts on Scotland: - https://archive2021.parliament.scot/S5_Environment/Inquiries/20180305_GD_to_Rec_salmon_farming.pdf - https://www.facebook.com/issf.org.uk/videos/

Today there are over 3 million people in the UK who are still clinically extremely vulnerable to Covid. Not only do our underlying health conditions put us at greater risk for severe disease or death, immunosuppression can cause the Covid vaccines to be less effective. Not all of us are mounting immune response to vaccinations, even after four doses, and as of October 2021, 91% of us were still shielding, nearly two years into this pandemic. Right now the only protection the government is offering us is post-Covid infection: We are being asked to take our chances of getting the disease, which may be deadly for many of us, before we can access antivirals or monoclonals to help our chances of survival. We need a vaccine equivalent that protects us proactively so we can go back to living our lives safely. Without this, we live an isolated and perilous existence. Some other countries have already approved monoclonal antibody treatments such as AstraZeneca's Evusheld as prevention against infection for the immunosuppressed community. We ask that these be fully approved, distributed and provided as long-term prophylaxis treatment to the clinically vulnerable in the UK.
