• Dentistry to be more accessible to NHS patients
    Dental health is grossly under-rated and undervalued by the government and dental practices who often have gone private to make more money. Poor oral/dental hygiene and care leads to thousands of people suffering and being admitted to hospital for treatment due to infections which could be prevented if dentistry was part of the NHS agenda We don’t pay to see a GP, we should not have to pay to see a dentist. People struggle to get on the books of a dentist and their dental health suffers. I’ve been on the receiving end of being removed from a Dental Practice with no communication from them about this. I’ve also had to wait to be able to see a dentist due to lack of money. Dental Practices need to be held to account as there is little fall back for the clients to appeal this.

  • Keep The N.H.S Free.
    Everyone should be able to afford healthcare. As teenagers, we are worried about the future of NHS. Budget cuts on health should never leave the vulnerable in debt to pay for the their health.

  • Standardise Prescription Medication Packaging
    For the elderly, or mentally challenged, it can be quite daunting to be faced with a change in packaging of medication. What has been a yellow box suddenly changes to a blue or pink one when the pharmacy uses a different supplier. Not only can the change in outer packaging be confusing the pills inside can vary in shape, colour and size. For someone who is accustomed to taking two of the large pink "Smarties" to be faced with two white, flat pills can be quite disconcerting and potentially dangerous. We, the undersigned request that an industry wide standard for shape and packaging be implemented, so that all medication of the same ingredient and strength are the same irrespective of the manufacturer.

  • Petition to Stores to Encourage People to Buy Cruelty-Free Beauty Products
    The Solution: In order to do this, stores need to take responsibility for boosting the awareness and sales of cruelty-free brands. To do this, stores should create specific sections where shoppers can view and test a selection of popular cruelty-free products. These sections need to be visible to customers, and attractive. In addition to this, stores should make a push to educate customers about the benefits of buying cruelty-free products instead of animal-tested ones. If all these efforts are made by popular high-street stores, the number of brands switching to cruelty-free practices will surely increase.

  • Bowel cancer screening
    Personally, I have lost a cousin, two aunts and my mother to bowel cancer, and all but one of them were over the age of 74. I live every day wondering if this simple test could have saved them.

  • HRT Shortage
    Millions of women are currently unable to obtain HRT patches/tablets either at all or no guarantee of continuous supply leading to debilitating symptoms. This is completely unacceptable that women are left in this situation with nowhere to turn. Many women are having to eek out their current supply if they have it with no hope of obtaining more or dealing with a lottery system with chemists who have no idea of future stock or availability.

  • National Minimum Standard for TV Subtitles and loop systems for the deaf and hard of hearing
    Subtitles, on TV programmes do not always appear. When they do they can often appear patchy or intermittent making it very difficult for deaf and hard of hearing people to follow tv programmes. Live programmes eg news are very difficult to follow. Technology should be able to automatically put on screen words just spoken on live programmes. Subtitles vary across TV channels. There should be a uniform minimum standard. TV Subtitles should not be huge chunky lettering that takes up nearly a third of the screen. People who depend on subtitles can be embarrassed by the way the size of the subtitles make it difficult for other people watching to enjoy the programme. Subtitles should always be included on dvd/bluRay discs of TV shows and films for sale in the shops. Loop systems Organisations that have a loop system installed use an approved logo to indicate this. But there is no guarantee that the loop system will prove satisfactory to people who wear hearing aids. This is because they vary enormously across the country and there is no national minimum standard for how they are supposed to work. Many loop systems are inappropriate for the size of the building with poor training provided to office/building support staff who are often left unable to help. People who use loop systems frequently discover that the reception they receive varies from one building to another. There doesn't seem to be a national monitoring scheme that can ensure high standards of loop system are provided and maintained so that people who use loop systems do not need to worry about being able to hear differently wherever they go. Hearing organisations and charities can have the ability to regulate this vital area that affects people who use hearing aids every day. Government needs to pass the necessary laws to ensure improvements are made to both subtitling and loop systems across the UK.
