Make First Aid a part of the National CurriculumWhy should a child watch a member of their family or friend suffer in pain and have no idea what to do? That kind of pressure and guilt should not be put on children. First aid should be taught in Primary and Secondary schools so that our children can be the difference between life and death and can even know what to do for themselves if they need first aid. It's all well and good children learning science, mathematics and literacy, but saving a life overrules all of that in retrospect. Give our children a well rounded education with important life skills!389 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Stephanie Palmer

Save The RoddensThe Roddens Care Home Ballymoney has played an instrumental role for decades now in caring for the most vulnerable in society. Highly trained staff have offered first class residential care , step down beds , respite and recuperation for the people of Ballymoney and beyond, easing the burden on our already overstretched hospitals and domiciliary care teams. If this home closes it will have a detrimental impact on our elderly.718 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Rodger Doherty

Ban ear piercing for babies/toddlersIt is a form of child cruelty. Severe pain and fear is inflicted upon infants unnecessarily. It serves no purpose other than to satisfy the parent's vanity. Other forms of physically harming children are illegal- this should be no different.88,411 of 100,000 SignaturesCreated by Susan Ingram

Change donor lawThe NHS is organised in such a way that people will only be considered as possible donors if they happen to die in Hospital, despite their declared wish during life to be a donor after their death. Every day In the UK, it is normal for 1,500 people to die, 400 of those are known to have signed up to the Organ Donor Register. Because each person has two kidneys, that is 800 potential life saving kidneys available every day, yet only 7 operations are carried out. If the NHS could manage 7 more operations a day then the waiting list could be eliminated within three years, but it does not happen and patients continue to languish on Dialysis, or die.275 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Stephen Brotherton

MULTI-STOREY CAR PARK URGENTLY NEEDED AT CARMARTHEN HOSPITALThis excellent and very busy general hospital covers the whole of south west Wales - with patients and visitors having to travel round trips of up to 100 + miles. The health board has absolutely no consideration for its disabled and elderly patients nor, indeed, for any of its patients and visitors.3,050 of 4,000 SignaturesCreated by Alun Lloyd Davies

Sugar TaxSugar is a zero nutrition addictive drug / poison which is easily consumed in large quantities by children, decreasing the overall well-being of society. Medical experts are fighting for there to be taxes on unhealthy foods and sugar will be one of the easiest to tackle, will generate funds which go directly to the NHS as well as long term decreasing treatment demand. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-32882186120 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Ian Sweeney

General Medical Council Registration Fees need reviewingOnly registered doctors can work in the UK and the GMC as a government monopoly charges a premium to be registered. Doctors have to pay many fees to allow them to work but the fee to be on the register now appears antiquated and unjust, especially when we have no way to question how much we are charged for the continued privilege to work and serve the public. As an additional point, would it be more sensible to have the GMC as a publicly funded body? Tax payer funding for tax payer protection.22 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jake Matthews

stop automatic organ donor opt-inPeople should be able to donate their organs by choice, not assumption. I want to give my organs as a gift, not by the Assembly making the decision for me. They are my organs and I have that right.90 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Greg Last

No confidence in Jeremy HuntI have worked in the NHS for over twelve years. In the last parliament I and many other NHS staff went on strike for the first time in many years. This was a step many staff never thought we would have to take. The 1% was the trigger but the protest was about so much more. Nurses and other staff who work within our National Health Service do an exceptionally difficult job. They care for us and our families but who cares for them? David Cameron tells us that his government is on the side of hard working families and yet Nurses and other NHS staff have seen their pay fall in real terms. Jeremy Hunt as Health Minister, who co-authored a book calling for the NHS to be dismantled and has been investigated in relation to his parliamentary expenses, actively stopped NHS staff from receiving a 1% pay increase, below the rate of inflation. There is a push to remove leads and allowances staff get for working unsocial hours, paid to them for caring for our families at the expense of their own. He has overseen a top down re organisation which has wasted billions of pounds and caused massive disruption to services. The conservative government has said that it values the NHS and its staff whilst seeking to undermine them wherever possible by allowing more and more profit hungry organisations to cherry pick the areas that will make them the most money, often at the expense of NHS services themselves. Morale is at an all time low right across services. Caring, compassionate, experienced staff are leaving in their hundreds because they can no longer face what is being done to the services they value by an ideology driven Health Secretary so far removed from the pain inflicted on front-line services. Can we expect such dedicated and caring staff to be totally focused on what really matters, the patients, when they are worrying about providing for their own families? So what does Mr Hunt offer to improve morale and support staff in delivering the care they want to provide? An unfunded commitment to £8 billion and additional commitments to find further £20 billion in savings from services already cut to the bone. Lets send him a message, lets tell him that we do not trust him with OUR NHS #nofaithinhunt503 of 600 SignaturesCreated by Owen Winsland

RE-INSTATE CALLINGTON ROAD MENTAL HEALTH HOSPITAL BUSAlthough sited within a major city Callington Road Hospital is not served by any public transport system. All other Bristol hospitals run a hospital bus system even though they have access to public transport. Many staff, service users and visitors rely on the hospital bus to connect to other transport systems.189 of 200 SignaturesCreated by wiltshire and avon health branch unison
