Holme View is a specialist dementia care home, the staff are trained in dementia care and the home received a good grading in all areas after their latest inspection, July 2016. The residents are settled and happy and they receive a good quality of service with value for money. Change would be detrimental to their mental wellbeing. It's a very worrying time for family members, not knowing where our loved ones may end up and thinking that they will have to go through the upheaval of moving. My sister has only just settled there after months, she could not cope with another change. Understandably cuts have to be made these days but surely not with regard to people who are so vulnerable.

Mental Health services are not only being cut but actually being closed down . As a long term sufferer of mental health conditions both as a client and as a volunteer the situation is untenable . The give just a few examples Due to funding cuts from Central Government Derby Steps Rethink Mental illness funding cuts DORA chesterfield to close March 2017 The Croft . Ripley Rethink (decision from CCG Jan 21st Red Cross Dementia Care/ MH Alfreton/Belper/ Ilkeston/ Long Eaton (been volunteer for seven years) Cease operations March 2017 MHAG mental Health Action Group (which covers Amber Valley) Sept 2017 Moneywise CAB in the community Amber Valley through Derby CAB for MH scrapped Amber Trust P3 / Ripley floating support cut from 2 years to 9 months etc Probably more to follow Where are people to go ? To interact in a safe environment etc ., See Derbyshire Healthwatch Report on Crisis Care just published. "There is a massive increase in admissions to A& E by mental health sufferers as I'm sure you have heard/seen on TV and Radio .. Surely by cutting these services it makes the situation worse ?"The Mental Health Action Group is led by people living with a mental health condition who rely on services in the community to help them stay well. At a time when the demand for mental health services has never been greater, vulnerable people are facing cuts in Derbyshire on an unprecedented scale. All manner of support services, money advice services, advocacy services, housing support services are being scaled down. It is dangerous to underestimate the cumulative effect of this on so many individuals and families. The gap between need and provision is widening all the time and people will disappear through that gap. How can we allow this to happen when the impact of mental illness has never been so well recognised nor the need to improve mental health care so well acknowledged?" supporting statement from the MENTAL HEALTH ACTION GROUP DERBY RESTORE THESE SERVICES NOW

North East Essex CCG are trying to shut down the Minor Injuries Unit which is situated at Clacton Hospital. This would mean that patients wanting to see a doctor, or needing urgent medical care, would have to travel to Colchester. Clacton's population is increasing and health services in the town are already suffering. GPs surgeries are not able to cope with their workload now, it is unthinkable that we may now lose the valuable service that our Minor Injuries Unit provides. This area has a large elderly population along with a large percentage of vulnerable people with mental health issues. It is not acceptable that elderly and vulnerable people have to travel to Colchester. Many people do not have their own transport and would not be able to afford to take public transport to Colchester to see a doctor. We have to stop this closure! This petition has been launched by TenPAG, Tendring Pensioners Action Group

Firstly they are the only public amenities in the area. Without them the only public toilets are in the Royal Free Hospital. Secondly they are historic as they are Victorian with marble urinals and wash basins. Thirdly their closure could result in more people urinating in the streets.

1.The Kino toilets, are used by the bikers who bring an awful lot of trade to the area and even in the winter visit in droves, and which are used by the bus drivers and is the only sensible and safe place to stop for the loo on most routes. Other residents, like myself, who are disabled or elderly cannot walk to the Mill Lanes toilets. I myself whilst waiting the other day needed the loo and couldn't go due to closures, and I cannot walk to other loo's which was frustrating! Don't put others through this dilemma. 2. It is not acceptable to expect people to pay for the loo's. It's meant to be convineient and it isn't if you don't have a 20p piece when you need the toilet. We pay council tax but see noting back! which we will struggle to find the money for (as if we cannot afford to keep them open in winter we cannot afford major renovations) and will be majory disruptive,

The Lancaster bus depot is the gateway to a lot of Lake district services through Cumbria namely the 555 to Keswick Ambleside and kendal. Quite a lot of people who like to ramble in the lakes in Cumbria who live in blackpool and Lancashire and use the service from early spring through to late autumn to connect through to Lancaster and the 555 via the 42 bus service and considering it takes over an hour to get to the lakes from Lancaster cutting the 42 service back stops people using this route and maximising their stay in the lakes. Even if they set off at 9.15 in thr morning they may not get to Cumbria until 12.30 or even 1.00pm which leaves approximately a two hour stay in Cumbria if that until having to return on the 555 for the amended return to blackpool at 5.40 pm Other people rely on a good service to and from Lancaster from blackpool as well and vice versa either for city shipping or a day and evening out. Other people from villages in between blackpool and Lancaster also use the service to shop in Garstang say for example or visit friends and this reduction of the service has had a detrimental effect with its outcomes

We are concerned about the following aspects outlined in the plan. • The reduction of A&E Departments from three to two. Wherever this closure maybe we believe that it will simply put further pressure on A&E departments in other parts of the county. • Closure of community hospital beds. • The further privatisation and fragmentation of NHS services within the country. • Closure of hospital departments putting further pressure on other services • The redeployment of staff which poses a risk to nurses and other health care professionals pay and terms and conditions. We believe that these proposals pose a direct threat to NHS services within the County and therefore we stand united in our opposition to these proposals. Please sign our petition to oppose these proposals and to save our NHS

This is important because this impacts our most vulnerable families and will reduce and take away the services avaliable which have had a massive positive impact on our families. The services provided by staff are currently around early intervention. Our Children's Centre's provide a one stop shop of early help services.

In a recent article by GScene Magasine, it was advised that Brighton based HIV charity The Sussex Beacon faces the prospect of closing services, including its ten bed inpatient unit, following a reduction in funding it receives from the NHS. The Sussex Beacon provides specialist support and care to people living with HIV through inpatient and outpatient services. It helps hundreds of people living with HIV each year and was rated ‘outstanding’ by the Care Quality Commission in September. Changes to local commissioning arrangements have led to a reduction in funding from some statutory funders. The Sussex Beacon has already lost funding with further cuts likely to follow in the near future. The charity costs over £2 million a year to run and the Charity Trustees say they cannot continue to absorb these cuts. While many people living with HIV are now able to live long and healthy lives, there are still many who need specialist services. Last year The Sussex Beacon’s inpatient unit had 233 admissions and was full for the majority of the year. It provided over 2,000 bed nights, relieving pressure on both health and social care services in Sussex. Please use #SaveTheSussexBeacon when sharing to help build momentum and to let the Sussex Beacon staff see what you are doing to help

There is currently a proposal to make 20 million pounds worth of cuts to the Birmingham Parks Budget . This means reducing staffing in the 6 major parks down to only 2 hubs with these expected to manage every other country park and park space run by BCC in the whole of Birmingham. This will mean no more supported schools groups, a huge reduction and diminishment to our green spaces, no more eco action and nature events ... or secret santa, or nursery for plants to make our city beautiful, no more community action liaison work, no more drug and alcohol support group work, no more keeping an eye on our country parks to keep them safe places for us to visit, reduced visitor centres and significantly less maintenance of these precious spaces across our city. Without regular care will fall into dereliction and disrepair. We need these major parks for our kids to play in, for us to walk in and keep fit, and we want to know they are staffed and safe! Birmingham is the UK's second city with the most green space of any uk city these spaces don't just look after themselves. They need dedicated care to remain the nurturing places we all know and love. Unfortunately central conservative government has slashed the council budget for Birmingham (a labour council) disproportionately compared to say that of conservative Oxford. It's not right!!! The consultation document is worded to try and get those who do respond to agree to these draconian cuts as a good idea...we need to stop them and the consultation is only open to respond to until the first week in January 2017.

I am begging people to get behind this campaign.My sister who has a spinal degenerative disease and needs regular pain killing injections in order to function has received a letter from the NHS in Blackburn that funding has been refused for ongoing treatment. She is certainly no alone, and there could be many other people affected by this decision. She has had to pay 864.00GBP in order to get a pain killing injection from her specialist today. What is going on? This is not a cosmetic face lift or botox, we are talking about a pain killing injection that is necessary for her to function. Please help me to expose what is happening to innocent people, many of whom are not in a position to pay. They are being referred back to their GP's who are going to be overwhelmed with patients needing this care. Please help. xxx I am not only fighting for this treatment for my sister but to all the other patients who have received similar letters advising them that their treatment is no longer available.

This farm has become an integral and important part of East Birmingham life. It has been visited by hundreds of thousands of families since opening many years ago. It offers an opportunity for children, many of who are from an underprivileged background, an opportunity to see farm animals at very close quarters. They are able to engage with the animals and ask questions of the friendly staff. It is a local institution. The farm also offers a magnificent opportunity for local young adults with a variety of special needs and challenging backgrounds to volunteer as "workers" on the farm. They give their time freely, their only reward being the personal progress they make in terms of independence and interaction with society. It would be a disgraceful reflection on all of Birmingham's Council Tax payers and Councillors for these vulnerable young adults to see all of their hard work dashed and their achievements (both in terms of the farm and their personal development) destroyed.
