Many local people rely on this hospital for various reasons. Many elderly and disabled people rely on this being a local hospital, easier to access than the larger Torbay Hospital, based in Torquay.

In 2014 my husband Joe Bohen was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer: Neuroendocrine Tumours (NET.) It had already spread from his lungs to his liver, lymph nodes and spine when discovered and is inoperable, BUT the disease has been controlled by Lanreotide and he has since enjoyed a good quality of life. However, in March we were told that the tumours were growing again. As if that news wasn't bad enough, we were told that PRRT which could very likely stop further growth, was removed from the Cancer Drugs Fund last September and he can't have the drug. PRRT is available throughout Europe and in other parts of the UK - this decision only affects people living in England. How fair is that? Would Bruce Keogh (Chief Executive of NHS England) or Jeremy Hunt (Health Secretary) be happy if a member of their family needed this drug but was denied it because of their post code? Apparently, NICE are considering PRRT. Their deliberations will take until Autumn of 2017. That will simply be too late for Joe and hundreds of others living with this rare form of cancer. Please sign the petition to reverse this outrageous health inequality.

Shame on them for trying to cash in on the success of Park Runs. How can they compare jogging in a park run on a public footpath to providing a serviced football pitches for a Sunday league teams. Their community is doing something to keep fit & all they can see is ££££ signs. This is the equivalent of asking people having a kick about on a Sunday afternoon (jumpers for goalposts) to pay for the privilege. Park runs are great for all communities. both for health and community spirit.

1 in 1000 people in this country suffer from this vitamin deficiency, the injection costs 55 pence and yet the NHS limits patients to 4 per year, why? In an age when more expensive treatments are freely sanctioned why is this cheap and effective treatment to thousands restricted. It makes no sense either economically or from a health perspective. Please help to change it.

The risks from smoke are already recognised extensively and this is why the policy exists so are unlikely to need listing here. Currently the strategy of having a policy and signs are not effective. I have observed it being an issue over years but was driven to create this petition recently due to attending maternity myself the last few months as an outpatient and then inpatient. Leaving with my new born through a cloud of no fewer than 8 smokers on either side of the door and smoke pouring in whilst I was waiting to leave drove me to take action.

The Ward is a vital part of our NHS Services to care for the often extremely sick and terminally ill patients

The NHS is under fire from its ideological opponents and the media too often carries bad news which are not balanced with stories of its successes. We need to celebrate it being the best in the world

Public health. No carcinogens in our national drink. Changing fat for cancer is shortsighted. Some of us control our sugar intake and dont want stealth chemicals added instead. If you think I should avoid sugar in my childrens drink and replace it with a proven carcinogen then it really is april the first

We the undersigned hereby call on all at Teignbridge District Council - district councillors; Simon Thornley, Ian Perry, and the other planning officers; Nicola Bulbeck, the chief executive officer; and Cllr Jeremy Christophers, the council leader - to put the safety of human lives in Dawlish first, before any further houses are built in the DA2 development. The three separate developers involved in Teignbridge District Council’s DA2 draft framework agreement, planning to build over 1000 new houses on adjoining land plots, are permitted to build and sell 50 houses each on their 3 separate developments, before Teignbridge considers it necessary to start to build the link road, from the Gatehouse Farm housing development, over the Shutterton Brook, through the Secmaton Farm housing development, and to the roundabout at Sainsburys to join the A379. Until then, Teignbridge District Council think it is acceptable to have all the construction traffic over residential roads such as Elm Grove Drive and Sandy Lane. With this logic, the people of Dawlish would be required to wait for 150 houses to be built, sold, and inhabited, before the new road is started. 150 houses will not appear overnight, so the people of Dawlish, especially: - residents on Elm Grove Road, Elm Grove Drive, and Sandy Lane; children attending the Gatehouse primary school, Dawlish Community College, Red Rock Youth Centre, and Dawlish United Youth Football and Mini Soccer FC; and people attending the leisure centre and playing fields - would have to endure many months of colossal amounts of heavily laden construction trucks, contractors’ vans, noise, extra traffic, and pot holes. These residential roads are not designed and built to endure months and years of heavy vehicles. Indeed they are already crumbling with numerous pot holes. We call on Teignbridge District Council to show the people of Dawlish the respect that is shown to Newton Abbot and Teignmouth, and to find the funds to build a service road for construction vehicles to use before any further building in the DA2 area developments. These funds will be repaid by the developers as they build the houses. If Teignbridge District Council can find in its reserves £13 million for a new shopping centre in Newton Abbot, and £2.5 million towards the Pavilions in Teignmouth, then the cost can surely be found to build a ‘base core’ service link road to be built before the construction of 150 new houses begins. Devon County Council has already agreed to funding the main bridge costs. The people of Dawlish should not have to wait for a fatality to happen on our streets before Teignbridge District Council realises that human lives are worth a whole lot more than 150 houses.

The government wants to cut pharmacy funding by £170m - this means a quarter of pharmacies around the UK could close. The Pharmacy is much more helpful then 111. My local pharmacy is very helpful with my diabetes. They do a great job of helping the elderly and checking that you are taking the right drugs. The government put out that you should go see your pharmacy instead of your GP or A&E, and now they want to cut the funding.

"Displaying intelligence" and "Enjoying reading and writing" are not grounds to dismiss a person with a disability who has clearly stated that they are unable to go about day-to-day living unaided. Denying this benefit to anybody who has been on DLA is in direct breach of basic human rights, and the rights of the disabled in particular. To cause futher stress to people with mental and physical limitations who may well be already battling with suicidal thoughts is tantamount to potential genocide of a vulnerable group of people. If not a war crime, it is most certainly premeditated murder.

We want to create an open access bike skills park in the heart of Edinburgh, making mountain biking accessible from within the city. Our site is an area of neglected woodland wedged between the Southside area of Edinburgh and the Western boundary of Holyrood Park (immediately adjacent to the Crags Community Sports Centre). We want to build: - An 800m Blue Graded MTB Trail looping through the woods (for beginners, younger kids, and cycle proficiency) - Red Graded Skills Development Features (located along the Blue Trail) - An awesome Pump Track that will be great for developing skills and improving technique But we are doing way more than just creating a cool new bike play space: We are also cleaning up a potentially lovely but badly neglected woodland and turning it back into a green space that everyone, young and old, will actually use, spend time in & enjoy. Specifically we are: - Cleaning up all the rubbish, dog mess etc - Getting rid of all the needles so the woods are safe again for kids & dogs to play in again - Planting 200 new native species & fruit trees - Installing 30 bird & bat boxes - Installing new benches & rubbish bins - Improving footpaths for dog walkers & runners After four years of hard work we have: - Planning permission - A 25 year lease for the site - 80% of the funding - Loads of support from local people, organisations and businesses! Once up and running, the woods will also be a great community resource for local Eco schools & forest school projects, for young people to achieve their JASS & John Muir Awards, and for led walks by park rangers plus interpretive guided tours. So why is this so important? Learning to ride a bike gives young people great confidence, and an ability to access and explore the outdoors independently, which often goes on to benefit them throughout their adult lives. Young people often can't do this in safety on the street because they are too congested and dangerous to learn on. The danger of future generations slipping into sedentary lifestyles is also well documented. Sign the petition & help us make the SKELF Bike Park happen!
