People 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.

I think its unfair that straight couples and gay couples can have ivf funding but an asexual person who wants to be on their own cant have ivf funding. I want to change that i think asexual people don't have enough rights either and their needs are just dismissed just because people think its weird or wrong for them to not want a partner. I want equality for asexual people. I want asexual people to be able to have a family to. Why should we not be allowed to have a family just because we are not part of a couple. Also some asexuals are actually diagnosed as infertile and it is a shame to be denied he right to be a mother. To make ivf funding avaliable for asexual single people.

Premarin is a form of HRT, widely prescribed to alleviate symptoms of perimenopause. It is harvested from pregnant mares using a catheter. The mares live their entire lives in a stall and forced always to stand up. They are repeatedly impregnated and their foals are killed at birth.

I 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 #nofaithinhunt

Although 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.

Currently fancy dress costumes are classed as toys so are not necessarily fire proofed or fire retardant. The amount of children that are taken to hospital with burns due to fancy dress clothes is increasing. This can be stopped, simply by changing the classification from toys to clothes. Currently fancy dress clothes are CE checked for flammability. But this check is only suitable for toys which burn a lot slower than fancy dress clothes. Fancy dress clothes should be in the same category as the flammability of children's night clothes. After all children WEAR the fancy dress clothes, they do not play with them. "At the moment fancy dress costumes are not necessarily fire proofed or fire retardant. They are classified as toys, not clothes. Toy clothing, identified by the CE mark, is regulated however – including dressing up toys. Also, the flammability of children’s nightwear is regulated. All toys on the UK market are required to comply with the relevant flammability requirements. Toy manufacturers use materials that comply with the strict rules and carry out the necessary tests to demonstrate compliance"

Without the NHS people like the elderly, disabled, which we all know your poor late son Ivan was, sick children and poor will suffer as they will not be ableto afford private health care and subsequently, like poor Ivan, die. I, myself, have epilepsy and, at the age of six months, contracted menigitis. This left me partially disabled and, without our beloved NHS I, no doubt, would've probably died as my parents were unable to afford private health care. In recent times my 70 year old dad suffered a subdural haemotoma and, yet again, without the NHS, we would have no doubt lost him. Get rid of the NHS and our blood will be on your hands.

I have been trying to obtain responses to the following queries from my local East Lancashire CCG for a long time: 1. Will the CCG treat local press and radio as primary routes for keeping the public informed of its activities? 2. Will the CCG require members with links to private sector providers to stand down? 3. Since its inception 01.04.13., what percentage of former in-house provision has the CCG awarded to private contractors? 4. In awarding contracts, what criteria do the CCG apply other than cost? In effect, the answers to '1' and '2', were 'no'. After prevarication, the answer given to '3' is 0%. Working conditions, etc., were not included in answer to '4'. The failure to treat local media as primary routes for keeping the public informed makes a mockery of East Lancashire CCG's commitment to be '... accountable to local people'. Failing to exclude persons with private sector health provision connections brings into question the award of contracts to such organisations. Local GPs have formed a private limited company, and our CCG is 'Led by clinicians ...'. Should a contract be awarded to the GPs' company, no matter how properly, can we imagine the response of the big beasts of private health provision? The CCG could be mired in legal challenges, at enormous cost, and with attendant delays to the provision of medical care. 0% to private contractors is difficult to reconcile with findings obtained under freedom of information legislation for the period April 2013-August 2014: ‘... analysis of the data supplied by clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) showed that 1149 contracts (33% of the total) were awarded to private sector providers ...’. BMJ (formerly British Medical Journal) ‘A third of NHS contracts have gone to private sector ...’. 10.12.14. Other than emphasising, ‘Quality of service’, the CCG had nothing to add to an earlier response. When awarding contracts, the CCG's omission of criteria re. working conditions, employee rights, wages, zero hours contracts, and materials’ sourcing plays to the advantage of private health providers. (Just type 'private health providers' and 'scandals' into a search engine. I did so, with about 658,000 results in 0.30 seconds.) Incidentally, I put these matters to East Lancashire CCG by email 29.03.15. To date, I have had no reply. Maybe my follow-up letter to our local paper, the Rossendale Free Press, published 01.05.15, will be more successful in prompting a response. It is worth pointing out that I do not raise these concerns as a private individual. I belong to a local Patient Participation Group (PPG) and am charged with handling '... any dealings with, and to do with, the CCG on behalf of the PPG.' Not only does the CCG show itself unaccountable to local people in general, but it doesn't see the need to account to our local Patient Participation Group. I can't imagine that concerns over my local CCG are not reflected across the entire country. Please support this petition if you share those concerns.

The main cause of vaginal infection is poor hygiene for homeless woman this is not an option they either eat or buy Tampax or sanitary towels food being the main priority for some otherwise the hunger pains are terrible. But which is less dignified? Stealing tampons and towels or not having one at all? Why should homeless woman have to rip clothes etc to stick between their legs because they have nothing? Something needs to be done and so I'm raising awareness @i have a name project and @the homeless period.

1/5 people suffer from mental health problems in the UK, many of these people self harm, in fact suicide is the leading cause if death in the UK for men under 21. Many TV programmes can have detrimental effects on peoples well beings. TV producers such as the BBC seem to enjoy using themes such as suicide and rape as they are deemed as "interesting" of "exciting". But there is little regard for certain viewers emotions. As a long term suffer of mental health problems, many things trigger negative emotions, these are the things I obviously try and avoid. However, when programs, such as casualty, air distressing themes, the viewers are given no prior warning, sparking many negative emotions. I feel it is necessary that trigger warnings are displayed before a program starts if necessary. (Just like the BBC do with flashing lights etc) a simple message such as "warning: triggering content", would make such a difference to so many people.

Every year hundreds of people die as a result of the readily available legal highs, many believe that as the substance is legal, it is safe. It's quite the opposite in fact. The exact ingredients will never be known, and we are unaware of the effects of theses substances. However, despite this, the council still proceed to licence shops selling legal highs. No age restrictions are in place. A child as young as 5 could purchase these lethal drugs, all at the owners discretion. I for one am not going to sit back and watch more and more children become another death statistic. By making it illegal to purchase these substances under the age of 18, we can start minimising casualties. Tight sentences and fines should be implemented to anyone found selling legal highs without a license or to anyone with out verification of age. The fight back starts now.

The reason behind my urgent appeal is because this medication is the cause behind so many soldiers suffering from mental health breakdown. Responding to the new statistics published recently, General Lord Dannatt, former head of the British Army, said: “It is extraordinary that the MoD continues with this policy given the mounting evidence as to the harmful effects of Lariam. The MoD should decide as a matter of urgency to no longer prescribe Lariam but use some other malaria prophylactic.” I thoroughly agree with this because it is very wrong to put our loyal troops through this predicament which is very much uncalled for. Therefore I implore the Ministry of Defence to ban the medication and not prescribe it to our troops with immediate effect.
