.We want our hospital and Urgent Care Service to stay.It is of vital importance that a rural community such as ours retains access to a well resourced,responsive emergency service. We have witnessed the downgrading of services at Hexham General Hospital since it opened in 2003 and we do not want to see further depletion of this valued resource which puts patients at risk.The development of a specialist emergency hospital 30-50 miles away should not mean reductions in the current local service,which denies this community equal access to healthcare.This is of particular concern regarding our access to the Emergency Ambulance Service which is experiencing significant financial and service pressures. We are concerned that once services are removed they are never replaced .We believe that in the current climate of huge financial pressures on the NHS our services must be defended against further downgrading, fragmentation and privatisation so that the NHS remains a service free at the point of delivery which meets the needs of its citizens who own it.

Because not all parents have cars and the money for bus fares over to Gloucester which will leave families out of pocket. This could prevent parents visiing their sick child. What child wants to be in hospital with out seeing their mum and dad? I now urge the Hospital bosses to bring back the children's ward

The Cardiff Alcohol and Drug team has provided an expert and effective service to people struggling with substance misuse in the Cardiff and Vale areas for nearly 30 years. Cardiff County council has decided to close it as part of a round of cuts. The service provides a team of social workers and a team of counsellors so giving a holistic approach to helping individuals and their families. They currently have around 230 people in contact with the service. It is estimated that somebody that has alcohol or drug issues will effect a further 8 people in their families and communities not to mention the pressure put upon services such as housing, criminal justice and health to name a few. The cost of the service is 218,000 pa which is less than some executive members of the council's salary and has a lot more of a positive effect.

To save NHS from privatisation and stop the massive waste of the purchaser provider split

Too many young ladies are dying because they cant get screened for cervical cancer or are being miss diagnosed

NHS staff work a 24/7 job and as a reward for being so flexible with shifts they receive extra pay when they work nights and weekends. Most staff rely on this due to the pay freeze for staff on increment pay. NHS Staff suffer more than those deciding their pay can ever imagine, They are beaten and abused daily, working unsociable hours and 14 hour shifts. They have to pay to park at their workplace and all they want to do is help others. NHS staff spend days such as Christmas and New Year with complete strangers, with their patients and colleagues, helping to save lives. For doing this they get a little bit more money, but the job they do is priceless. Please sign this petition.

On Friday 9th January 2015, the disastrous Circle franchising experiment finally came to an end after they walked away from Hinchingbrooke Hospital just before a CQC report announced that their running of the hospital was inadequate and highlighted serious concerns over patient safety, staffing and financial difficulties. Campaigners have called for Circle to be sacked however take no pleasure in being vindicated in every criticism and concern that was raised. This was a disaster waiting to happen and Circle lurched from disaster to disaster from day one. Losing key figures such as Circle Chief Exec Ali Parsa who quit merely 6 months into the 10 year deal with a £400,000 payout followed swiftly by the Chief Exec of the hospital who took 'early retirement' at the age of 50 hinted at serious underlying problems. Staff cuts including nearly 50 nursing posts and axing cleaning staff have contributed to the issues highlighted in the CQC report, along with the closure of an elderly trauma ward in 2013. Circle were held up as a flagship for NHS privatisation however the knight in shining armour never materialised, Now it is up to us to fight to save Hinchingbrooke. Sign the petition and join us in calling for Hinchingbrooke to remain within the NHS and say no to private sector experiments or further franchising deals

Jo Swinson MP is well aware that the pending new EU trade deal with the USA (Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership TTIP) could make existing privatisations of the NHS, and all that follows them, irreversible. All Cameron has to do is to threaten to use his veto by ensuring all mention of Health is removed from the treaty. We want Lib Dem MPs to insist he does it. Jo Swinson can help stop the Privatisation of the NHS and make sure it stays in our control, not the control of American multinationals. She should write to Cameron without delay. Because TTIP is negotiated between the coalition government at Westminster and the EU, it could have an effect on Scotland's healthcare services too, even though our NHS is devolved. The coalition government are putting the NHS in Scotland at risk too. Under this TTIP Agreement, our elected Government would not be able to bring NHS services back into public ownership regardless of circumstances. This is because TTIP will include legal arrangements whereby multinational Health corporations can sue Governments for loss of profits. TTIP Negotiations are taking place right now, and neither the European Union or the Con / Lib Government can give assurances that the NHS is safe or not. David Cameron can clear up all this confusion and protect the NHS.

He has failed in his role as Health Secretary and needs to acknowledge his failure.

The reason we want the NHS to stop rationing hearing aids and also asking you to sign this petition is because people who are hard of hearing you can experience isolation and that can result in depression. By denying hearing aids you are denying the right of people to become active members of the community and enjoying a good quality of life.. Hearing Aids have been available on the NHS when needed since 1948 and should remain a routine provision. The average cost of a hearing from a private provider is £3000 for a pair of hearing aids this is why 84% of people get their hearing aids via the NHS. The health problems caused by isolation will cost the NHS far more.

I have a neurological condition called Charcot Marie tooth disease type two which there is no cure. I have been prescribed Bedrocan products from Holland twice by my consultant physician but when I tried to bring my medication back it was confiscated by the Border Force. I am not doing this for myself but for all the other sick and poorly people across the UK.

Three Cornish care homes for adults with learning disabilities have been forced to close because of the behaviour of the company director. Most recently, one home closed six days before Christmas with residents who had lived together as a community for some time being spread across other homes, some of them many miles away from families. The 24 staff, some of them single parents on low wages, were left unpaid. The same can happen in any part of England because of the lack of control over ownership. Anyone can buy a residential care home, whatever their background. Please sign this petition to prevent this situation from affecting more vulnerable people and their carers.
