The last thing people need to worry about when attending a hospital emergency or appointment is if they can pay for parking! Due to the current charges, parking in nearby streets is causing a danger to other road users and residents.

The walk in medical centres in Bury and Prestwich are under threat. A consultation is underway to look into whether or not they should be closed. We're asking the government to provide Bury with enough money to keep the centres open. If enough of us sign the petition to keep them open, health minister Jeremy Hunt might just have to listen. 67,752 of us use the centres every year, and closing them would put a real strain on other local services, like the A&E department. They alleviate A&E workload and serve the community well.

This hospital has been slowly 'run down' by the closure of two wards and now the CCG want to completely close it. This is part of a review of services provided in North Derbyshire which include the closure of other community hospitals. This review is titled '' Better Care Closer To Home'' , however many of us do not believe that the planned changes will work and that patients will receive a poorer service. The plans have been put to public consultation HOWEVER the CCG have NOT notified all households to publicise this as promised , hence many do not know of the proposed changes which include providing care in nursing homes and the patients own home. Meaning family will be involved in the care role, rather than a community hospital following discharge from the Royal Hospital. This hospital provides a service to Chesterfield residents ( not just those of Bolsover) so the result of the closures will be felt by many.

This hospital was built several years ago to support the local area, the building hosts all types of day clinics etc. One ward has been closed for a long time,and now the trust are looking to close down the other ward. In the past people have been discharged from the main hospital to here, one step closer to home. Its been well looked after and is very modern inside, plenty of free parking. The nearest Hospital is Calow which is 2 bus rides away, so it is vital to keep this hospital open for local people. You can read about the plans for better care closer to home at the following link http://www.joinedupcare.org.uk Please support the staff and nurses to keep their jobs, and the hospital open ! My question are we going back in time?

A rusty, dangerous and abandoned skate park sits on the park. A BMX track would be a perfect project for this area. Making the park a place where people can ride/race BMX. This would give kids through to adults a new experience.With local success from Connor Williams racing BMX in the British BMX championship this year. A track would be recognised as a home track for him and others that race from Calverton for training and potentially racing. ​A BMX track would bring people from all around the midlands and the country to race. Also there is a lot of interest and support from other local residents saying this would be a great idea giving the younger generation something to do and keeping them off the streets. With Hucknall and Bulwell having a track already why can't Calverton.

We feel this closure of our community care beds is detrimental to the well being and health of our aged population.Whilst we agree in theory to the strategy of 'My care,My way,home first',we have grave doubts as to the feasability to be able to achieve this safely with the current lack of community and social care provisions available.

Shotley Bridge Community Hospital serves tens of thousands of people in North West Durham The nearest main hospital is 13 to 14 miles away, and this regional facility, which was once a huge teaching hospital, though now reduced, to a shadow of its former operation is, nevertheless, a lifeline to many residents in this vast area of County Durham. The facility is very well used by people from all over the area, and acts as an overspill for the main hospitals within this North East area..The Facilities it offers include: Ophthalmic care, provided by the RVI in Newcastle. Audiology - X-Ray - Endoscopy & Colposcopy - Oncology - Diabetic - Podiatry - Physiotherapy - Day Surgery - Out of Hours - General out-Patient - and Minor injuries - Units and facilities are provided by University Hospital Durham and other Hospitals such as Darlington ...It would be too great a loss, for the people of this area, and to lose it, would engender great hardship for many!.. It would also increase waiting lists and times, in the main hospitals, which are already overstretched….The extra cost and burden, which would be imposed upon the health service, would most assuredly, prove to be cataclysmic!... It is up to all of us, to fight this purported closure... Indeed, for the sake of the sale, of a piece of land, on which a few houses would eventually be built!... A whole community, is going to be made to suffer, and that, is neither justifiable, nor right!....... Please fight to retain Shotley Bridge Community Hospital!...... The area, and the people in it, will surely be, much the worse, for the demise of this excellent facility!...To lose it, is too big a price to pay, for too many peo

The people of Dumfries and Galloway should be fully consulted and given the choice to name the hospital as this fits with the Scottish government strategy to empower communities and enable them to be more involved in the matters which are relevant to how the community is perceived. This is an important time and the hospital will reflect a new era in health and social care in the region

Whilst we welcome the move to schedule CBD as a medicine following clinical trials, it must be understood that completely removing it from the market with only 28 days notice is not sufficient time for patients to find alternative ways of maintaining their health. CBD is well documented through clinical research to be non-toxic and non-psychoactive and has no recorded negative side effects in humans, as well as being a powerful anti-inflammatory, anti-spasmodic and anti-epilepsy drug. This move will lead to more vulnerable patients buying untested CBD products on the illicit market, potentially bringing them to more harm or falling prey to unscrupulous cannabis oil scammers as it is an expensive product. Thousands of patients with hundreds of medical conditions ranging from acute to life threatening rely on CBD as a safe and non-toxic form of medical and therapeutic treatment. Patients who are buying CBD products have conditions such as Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson's, Alzheimer’s, Crohn's Disease, Epilepsy, Fybromyalgia, Arthritis, Anxiety, Depression, Cancer, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, Elhers Danlos Syndrome, and Chronic Pain. We petition the MHRA to please consider other means of approving CBD products so that patients do not suffer the consequences of this decision whilst stricter regulations are decided upon. Yours Sincerely United Kingdom Cannabis Social Clubs

Bounty are a commercial organisation and have for too long been allowed free access on to the wards of maternity hospitals. They are allowed to walk on to the wards even during times when the patients familys and friends can't even be there. They are allowed to open curtains on wards and go into bedrooms regardless of how vulnerable these women and babies are. It's an imposition on women and babies on the wards and it's appalling that it has been just accepted as standard. No one should have this kind of access that isn't there on a medical basis. Please share your stories if you wish. Let's see just what a negative impact this is on pregnant and postnatal mothers and how much of an imposition this is on women and their birthing experience. Thank you

The proposed closures will reduce the accessibility of much needed NHS services to our communities. It will put added strain on services that are already stretched. Journey times to accident and emergency units and special care baby units will be increased for some communities, putting lives at risk. There will be added strain on the ambulance service. All closures will reduce accessibility for families and friends who wish to visit their loved ones, particularly as many sites are not well served by public transport. There will be added strain on an already stretched infrastructure across the county. Mental health services are already under funded with a shortage of inpatient beds in Dorset Psychiatric Hospitals. People have been known to have been conveyed by Private Ambulances to Private Hospitals in various parts of the country- sometimes hundreds of miles from their home, family and/or support network. Dementia services are vital in supporting those living with the condition and their families to live as independently as possible. Please see our website www.keepournhspublicdorset.com for further information. Join us on Saturday 15th October for a public demonstration.
