Its is very important to me because we hear new claims how sugar, alcohol and household products we use daily is damaging our health with 1 in 3 people we know will have cancer at one point in their life. Majority of these diseases and cancers are caused by the cheap products on the market and poor lifestyle.The natural and healthier products prices are sky high, I believe the prices should be cut down so people can make healthier food and product choices for their families or even make it equal price so people have a freedom of choice. This subject is dictated on television and on the news but is sometimes impossible being healthy as its too expensive to upkeep and something needs to drastically change. I have tried to make a change as a overweight person due to the food choices I have made and decided I needed to eliminate sugar and carbs as its ruining my health but some of the prices out there in our local shops are ridiculous for a family to enjoy the benefits of healthy eating are can be virtually impossible to upkeep if you are on average wage. Some people have to go into debt in order to eat naturally and use natural products due to the economic climate and the cost of living is so expensive and I wish to make a stand by making it equal or reverse the prices so healthier is cheaper rather than the other way round.

This is extremely important to myself as I suffer from anxiety and my oldest son suffers with extreme anxiety and on occasion low mood. I had to fight for years, constantly taking my son to his gp just to receive an initial referal for him. He is currently being seen through CAMHS, where is he supposed to be seen on a fortnightly basis, however he hasn't had an appointment since November! I have contacted CAMHS on a number of occasions to be told he is still an active member on their list, however, they cannot tell me when his next appointment will be. This has left my son and myself feeling frustrated, deflated and we feel we have nowhere else to turn for support. As a sufferer of anxiety myself, I know how awful it feels and how it gets in the way of your day to day life, but for a child this must be unbearable. There is no worse feeling as a parent trying your best for your children but not knowing how to help them. In my area alone, the suicide rate has almost tripled in the past few years. I find this figure to be extremely alarming as it shows just how extreme the impact of mental health can have on people. Most of these people taking their own lives are kids....our children and the next generation. Our kids are living in a world where so much is expected of them, and the pressure to fit in and do well in life clearly shows it can all be too much for them. We need to end the stigma relating to mental health and we need to teach our children it's ok to talk about their feelings and it's ok to feel overwhelmed at times. I was deeply shocked and concerned to see the handful of MPs who attended the debate just earlier this month regarding the issue of child mental health. If our MPs are not going to take this matter seriously and fight for our children then we must. It's about time they realised how important this issue is as the problem is growing and growing year by year.

Knowledge is such a powerful tool. Anybody could find themselves in an emergency situation at any time. Knowing how to respond by giving first aid could make a huge difference to the outcome of a situation. It could potentially relieve some stress from services such as the NHS also. We live in a time where technology is so advanced, yet only a handful of individuals in academic or workplace settings have been trained in First Aid. Everybody should be equip with this knowledge not just the select few. We will all be safer if we know how to react in an emergency.

Eating too much added sugar can cause tooth decay and contribute to people having too many calories, which can lead to weight gain.Being overweight increases your risk of health problems such as heart disease, some cancers and type 2 diabetes. For a healthy, balanced diet, we should get most of our calories from other kinds of foods, such as starchy foods (wholegrain where possible) and fruits and vegetables, and only eat foods high in free sugars occasionally or not at all.

In the U.K. medical marijuana was made accessible through the NHS as of last November. Yet very few prescriptions have been made. Currently it is viewed as more acceptable to give a patient Opiates which are not only addictive but have little to no effectiveness on chronic pain. This needs to stop, there is a treatment out there that could help thousands and yet those seeking medical marijuana are often left frustrated by not being able to access it. Many are having to turn to purchasing the drug illegally in order to see some pain relief. People should not be criminalised for seeking a quality of life. The U.K. government needs to make access to this treatment easier for those who need it.

Air pollution has been linked to poor health. It is important for our health that this is dealt with immediately.

The sexual age is 16, So why can the smear test be lowed to 16, Iv heard of young girls and women finding out they have cervical cancer, If smear test was lowed to 16 they could catch it more early.

I met several people today in their 40's who had had Breast Cancer. Mammagrams would have meant it could be found and treated earlier.

It helps stop children under 18 getting these products easily it's happened with my family and friends kids it should be illegal many people are worried about this

Most women can't afford to go private for this treatment it is a necessity for their mobility.

My daughter is 17months old and was diagnosed with DDH (developmental dysplasia of the hip) at 16months old, this was missed from her newborn checks, she has just had to have an operation on her hip called a closed reduction and is currently in a spica cast. She may have to have further surgery. So many children and adults are diagnosed late and have to go though the pain of surgury and the frustration of being stuck in a cast, this could be avoided!! In European countries such as Germany, Austria and Switzerland all newborns undergo an ultrasound with in the first 5weeks and treatment if needed . They have a significantly lower number of late diagnosis. Why isn't this happening in the UK! Cost that's why. But if you weigh up the cost of treatment earlier on and the cost of surgery later in life you can gaurentee what's going to be cheaper. Change is what we needed!!!

A BBC News investigation shows there are "some rural areas in Britain where it took over 20 minutes on average for the ambulance service to reach a patient during January to October last year." Let's make it personal. In February an ambulance was called for me by the 111 service because of a suspected life threatening condition. The Community First Responder was on duty and arrived first. The ambulance itself took 80 minutes to arrive. We've had instances of elderly people lying-in the cold pavement with broken hips in my area waiting, waiting, waiting, for one of the 22 ambulances we have in our very large area. Twenty two! We have an ambulance station in our town, but it goes to any incident where it is required, as it should. There are insufficient staff and vehicles to cover our and every other area correctly, and this is down to funding and government cuts. The Ambulance Services are backfilling the lack of funding, vehicles and staff with volunteer Community First Responders, who are unpaid, though well trained. But this minimal cost service is not 24/7, and cannot replace a Dual Crewed Ambulance. Nor can a single manned emergency response vehicle, a Paramedic Car, manned by a single technician, however well trained and skilled that technician is, because it cannot provide emergency transport. The UK is being sold short. Our rural areas are beautiful, but those living there pay a heavy price. Ambulances simply do not arrive in time. Even our city areas fall outside the expected national service levels Austerity has crippled our public services. It is beyond time to fund the Ambulance Services fully, but not at the expense of other services,. If we need to pay more tax to fund it then we need to pay more tax.
