Mental Health issues Effect everyone, but yet stigma is still huge. People shouldnt be left to get so desperate that suicide is the last option.

Idling cars are a major contributor to air pollution in our city. Hotspots in the city such as Queens Road, Western Road and Rottingdean High Street regularly exceed both UK and EU limits for nitrogen dioxide (NO2). NO2 is a toxic gas that causes health problems such as asthma, bronchitis and lung cancer and contributes to 6% of all annual deaths in Brighton & Hove. If this petition reaches 1250 signatures the issue will be debated by the full Brighton & Hove City Council. Please sign this petition for cleaner air in our city.

The NHS is under a constant growing strain, with all members from all areas of the MDT feeling the push and are having to work twice as hard to meet with the ever-growing need, and let's face it these people's are saving lives...., missing out on there quality family time so they can keep your family's happy by giving you the gift of more time with your loved ones, these people are constantly training to update there skills spending hours of studying to help improve new way of helping us in the future. Yet some of these people are payed less then someone that could be found stacking shelves at your local supermarket. I believe all NHS workers should receive a minimum of £15ph.

Sandfield house is a beacon of hope in our community for people who struggle with mental health issues, over the years it has helped countless individuals also their families have piece of mind knowing their loved one is safe and looked after.

“It is the responsibility of everyone involved to ensure that the published record is an unbiased, accurate representation of research.” [X1] The failure of the Freemantle 2015 study's provenance, published in the BMJ in September 2015, to be accurately declared has been demonstrated by a significant body of evidence detailed below. As a result the study in its current form is misleading to readers. This failure to accurately declare the study's provenance has been exploited by both Jeremy Hunt and the Department of Health, who have repeatedly cited this study as 'independent' when using this study to justify their controversial 7 day NHS reforms. The British Medical Journal (BMJ) has not to date, responded to a detailed complaint, which outlined the detailed evidence listed below which accurately details the study’s provenance. The BMJ is as an internationally respected institution and has a pedigree for quality of academic research worldwide. BMJ publications which originate from, or exert a profound influence on, government health policy should accept the same level of scrutiny, no matter the results of the study. A failure to accurately declare a study’s provenance is not adequate, whether this relates to the role of the pharmaceutical industry or any other organisation. X1. PLoS Medicine Editors.

The main questions arising from this meeting involving Stevens, Keogh and Deloitte included ‘What is the clinical case for seven day services, especially re mortality?’ and the resulting action was documented as ‘Bruce agreed to have the mortality analysis from 2008 updated’. - The BMJ Editor Fiona Godlee stated in August 2017 “The BMJ to which the authors have responded. They have said that this was not the case. The letters can be viewed on our website.” - The ICMJE guidelines on conflicts of interest are clear and state "Are there other relationships or activities that readers could perceive to have influenced, or that give the appearance of potentially influencing, what you wrote in the submitted work?" - The BMJ’s own guidance on provenance states ‘who had the idea for the article’ - The Oxford Dictionary defines commission as “An instruction, command, or role given to a person or group.” 1.

Mammograms often do not pick up breast cancer for woman who are pre menopausal or have dense breast tissue. In fact according to the NCI (National Cancer Institute), at the time of screening, mammograms miss up to 20% of cancers which are already present in the patient. This could lead to deadly consequences for many women. Help make breast cancer screening more effective and save lives.

The Weybridge Walk in Centre was at the heart of Weybridge and needs to be replaced. The CCG are intending that Weybridge residents in need of emergency care will have to travel to St Peters or Woking. Both alternatives are overstretched at the moment. This is assuming that people can get to either location as this is very hard for those who require to use public transport. BRING BACK THE CENTRE IT IS NEEDED, WE NEED IT.

Because the population of South Tyneside are struggling to get medical attention with shift of facilities from south shields to sunderland. The town of south shields becomes unsafe and unaccessible to live in. The elderly and chronic patients will have to shift from their beautiful town of south shields and move to sunderland to have an easy access to facilities, the town of south shields will become an unsafe place to live in specially in an emergency, the shut down of STFT will create more of unemployment, the nursing homes in south shields will have to slowly close down due to reduction of residents because who would prefer to live in a town with no access to health facilities. This is what happens to south tyneside if the departments of STFT are close down, eventually shutting down the only acute care facility in this town forever.

Alfie's seizures are controlled by an intravenous steroid, but these over-powerful drugs are shortening his life. Children in Holland with similar seizures are successfully treated with medicinal cannabis, and in Eire individual Consultants can be licenced to administer cannabis. But in UK medicinal use of cannabis has been caught up in the arguments about the misuse of drugs. So medics can treat with morphine but can't treat with cannabis. Alfie is caught in the crossfire, and will have a short and difficult life unless a cannabis treatment is given as all other treatment have proved unsuccessful.

Children are being forced to carry an obscene amount of textbooks

Wirral has four walk in centers at present, three are in Wallasey and Birkenhead (The North of the Wirral peninsula) and only one in Wirral South where there is an ageing population. It takes two bus rides and a five hour round trip to attend Arrowpark (nearest) from Eastham. The closure will result in more calls for ambulances and a greater strain on Arrowpark A&E triage services, and the risk of families and the elderly not being able to attend. This could lead to further complications and emergency cases. Once again the residents of Wirral South take the hit and are disregarded to bolster Birkenhead and the northen end of the Wirral. Please sign this petition, say NO to this closure and show your support in keeping our only facility in Wirral South open. Thankyou

The NHS Bristol is being crushed under budget cuts. Now fertility services in the Bristol area are under threat. Current proposals are to limit treatment to to women aged between 30 & 35 years (previously anyone up to the age of 40 was eligible) where there are no existing children and only one cycle will be offered. The upper age limit for men to receive treatment will also be reduced to 52 years. Half the couples who currently receive treatment in the Bristol area will no longer qualify and will be forced to pay for treatment privately or go without. These proposed cuts to fertility funding are a shameless attack on desperate women and couples and will do little to nothing to relieve the budgetary pressures that the NHS is under.
