• GYM Shark plus size section
    As a clothing brand that promotes a gym style aesthetic, it's important to not exclude those who are already shamed for not being healthy, and making them feel unwelcome in that kind of environment. The world is moving so fast and its time to accept everyone in every form.

  • Call on government to pause its major reorganisation of the NHS and social care
    The proposals would, among other things: - increase fragmentation of the NHS by putting Integrated Care Systems (ICSs) on a statutory footing - embed a postcode lottery, so that the health and social care services that you can access will vary depending on where you live - open up the opportunity for private companies to have a say in what health and social care is provided in an area – creating huge potential for conflicts of interest - allow hospitals to discharge vulnerable patients before they have been assessed for NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and NHS Funded Nursing Care (FNC), leaving families to pick up the pieces – and leaving those without family potentially at risk of being left without the care they need - bring uncertainty to the future of the NHS workforce by failing to set out any precise limits to the scale and scope of any restructuring - leave the issue of access to and the funding of social care unaddressed – yet again It is simply wrong for the government to rush ahead with such major changes while NHS and care staff are exhausted from fighting Covid-19 and at a time when meaningful public engagement, including public meetings, can't take place. The government will soon be publishing a Bill to bring its proposals into effect and make them law. This petition is designed to put pressure on the government to do the right thing, pause the process until after all Covid-19 restrictions are lifted, and then carry out a full public consultation so that patients, NHS staff, care workers and unpaid carers can have their say. It is vital Boris Johnson listens to our concerns and takes action.

  • Diabetic Fairness
    I am a type 2 diabetic just been put on insulin very scary, after 4 days of blood testing sticking my fingers with needles 3 times more than I used to before insulin my fingers are very painful I am also on blood thinners which in turn makes it very difficult to stem the flow of the blood, I am now thinking this is for the rest of my life I need help this is barbaric and medieval this day and age sticking needles in your fingers any thing up to 8 times a day it is torture. So I searched the internet looking for some help and the only thing I could find was the LIBRE blood testing system where you do not have to stick needles into your fingers, as I read up on this system it explained how you put a censor in the top of your arm every 14 days and you can read your blood sugars via your mobile phone or the small electronic unit they supply. To my amazement as I read on that they do supply this system on NHS prescriptions I thought great what a savior, then I read on further they only give it to type 1 diabetics why I ask the illness is the same the treatment is the same there is no difference only the medical reason each individual was given as to why they are diabetic our treatment is exactly the same, we both inject and test our bloods up to 8 times a day, so please could you make this system available to type 2 diabetics on insulin.

  • 1% payrise for NHS is not good enough!
    NHS workers and staff deserve a proper pay rise. The government saying that 1% pay rise is enough is quite insulting, as the staff work hard during this pandemic to protect and care for patients, therefore it is unacceptable and may be the last straw for many employees. It is about time that a decent deal is made for NHS staff that is fair, necessary and affordable. It is time for Britain to speak up for NHS to put pressure on decision makers to approve of additional investment in health services and funding for a significant pay rise.

  • More support and care for women's prolapses
    Womens voices need to be heard!!!! Stop fobbing women off with prolapses. Women can often be left in pain and fobbed off and left to deal with them and long waiting lists. Women often have to fight to be heard and for surgery

  • Protect care home residents equally. Quality Assurance team to cover self funders, too.
    Elderly self funders in care homes, especially those with dementia, often lack mental capacity. They are highly vulnerable, and unable to discern good or safe care from bad, unsafe or abusive care. They are therefore NOT customers, which is how they're currently treated. They can't choose their care, and family advocates, especially in this pandemic, are too often unaware, or excluded, unable to support or protect their loved ones. If the Quality Assurance team is solely for social services funded people, its name should reflect its purpose, which is revenue protection.

  • Force the increase of funding and training for Mental Health Crisis teams in Staffordshire.
    This is important because too many people, friends and family are not getting the help they need when they call a crisis team, there needs to be a better infrastructure in place to guide people back from the edge and put things in place to get them the correct therapies and medications to help them recover.

  • 5 % payrise for nurses and NHS frontline workers
    Nurses within the NHS have put their lives on the line to save the lives of others suffering from coronavirus. They are our modern day heroes during this awful pandemic, the likes of which have not been seen for more than 100 years. How can we look them in the face when we as a country turn our back as soon as we feel the worst is over. We are eternally grateful to each and every one, please let us show that their efforts are recognised.
