During the last peak of Covid19 when students were heavily depended upon to help alleviate pressure on qualified nurses, the Department of Health in Northern Ireland recognised their efforts financially. No such payment is available this time, which has left students feeling massively undervalued. They have also been told not to speak to the media about the issue. https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/health/coronavirus/ni-student-nurses-risking-lives-without-pay-in-coronavirus-battle-39708516.html

The COVID19 pandemic has brought death and misery to the UK. As of 15 November 2020, this has included the death of at least 200 NHS workers. The rate of infection from corona virus is much higher in NHS staff than in the general population throughout the country. As a consequence, NHS workers are much more likely to become ill or die from this virus. As another consequence, they are also more likely to unknowingly transmit the virus to other people, including their patients. A mass vaccination campaign is starting this week. The vaccination campaign should prioritise NHS workers. This would keep safe those who look after the health of all of us. As a result, this would also make the UK population safer. https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-east-news/nhs-workers-died-coronavirus-pandemic-19282916

This virus has been a national and international accidental man made disaster and therefore the people who have died as a result should be remembered.

With a family history of severe heart disease, I do not understand why I cannot get a heart check on the NHS without first having to suffer an incident. Is prevention now, not better than a potentially more expensive intervention in the future, assuming the patient survives?? There are checks done for cancer, why not the heart?

More than a million of people takes the London Underground every day. Public transport is recommended by the public authorities for ecological and economic reasons, so it should not be an ordeal for the population. While specialists consider that above 85 decibels, hearing health is highly endangered, some parts of the underground lines (Northern line (between Camden and Kentish Town), Jubilee line or Victoria line) reach 100 decibels! In the long term, travellers using these lines are really endangered! As Londoners, we already pay a considerable price for this transport, and it is therefore legitimate that work is being carried out on these noisiest parts of the line. If you don't believe us, we invite you to use these lines more than twice a day and you'll know for sure. We hope that our request will find the right and responsible person. Sincerely

During the COVID 19 pandemic, death certificates does not record the ethnic background of the deceased, making the data less reliable. The following statement was taken from the Office of National Statistics: '1.The purposes of death certification:Prompt and accurate certification of death is essential as it serves a number of functions. A medical certificate of cause of death (MCCD) enables the deceased’s family to register the death. This provides a permanent legal record of the fact of death and enables the family to arrange disposal of the body, and to settle the deceased’s estate' There is no referance made to the ethnicity. This needs to change to ensure accurate and prompt data is available on a local level. For those who have lost their loved ones during this time, people would be appalled to know that this data is missing. It will be easier to identyfy 'hot-spots'. Are more people dying in one particular area or are the death more widespread. My father's death a few years ago, does not record who he was. His heritage was part of his life and should be recorded at his death. COVID has rasied this issue and the importance of it cannot be ignored.

because it will keep lots of young people out of trouble and will give lots of children a chance to play football with their friends and have fun excising

It's time that the safety of those of us that are protecting others is thought about. I have seen, heard and experienced situations where weapons are being used against us and I feel our employers should have to provide stab vests and PPE to protect us. If our employers provided stab vest, it acts primarily as a deterrent to people using bladed and needle attacks against us but it also means we are better able to deal with situations safely with less risk to ourselves and others.

Why should essential frontline workers have to pay to attend work . These charges, which apparently are being increased are totally unacceptable for these workers of whom the majority are in the lower income band of annual pay scales

Because they have closed 2 and the 2 that are left open have no complacity to cope with demand

An NHS X Pay boost backdated to the start of COVID19 would help out workers in the NHS on low pay or with bills and other expenses and alleviate some of their financial issues whilst showing them we recognize and value them.

it is important as all us carers go over looked because nobody notices how much work actually goes in to this job and we are paid peanuts
