It is severely effecting the welfare of animals in the sea and in the wild. It is a great step to ruling out single use plastics in the United Kingdom.

Type I diabetes is treated with insulin injections and the diabetic is responsible for the dosage. Diabetics must constantly monitor their blood sugar by pricking their fingers and carrying out a test, they must then adjust the dose of insulin they give according to the results. This is not an exact science and many diabetics do this 10 times per day and during the night. If blood sugar is too high the diabetic may go into a coma, if blood sugar is too low they will suffer rapidly increasing disorientation, If this is not treated they will go into a coma. Low blood sugar can be treated by eating something sugary but it is a frightening and dangerous thing. Flash Glucose Monitoring enables the diabetic to see their blood sugar in real time, 24/7. It also indicates whether blood sugar is going up or down allowing the Diabetic to react accordingly and giving them confidence about how they are likely to feel and how much insulin to use. If you broke your leg and you were offered a wooden splint and some bandages when plastering, pinning etc were available you would find it bizarre and cruel. Denying Type 1 diabetics access to up to date technology is equally cruel and the situation needs to be rectified as soon as possible

This is important for local health and wellbeing is represented by local people and democratic scrutiny. Until now all councillors have done is put cuts through and been hoodwinked by some CEOs of Trusts, on the HWB that do not care of the local population only payouts by big insurance companies trying to take over UK healthcare services.

Women's health issues can be very traumatic to deal with in terms of the emotional impact procedures such as hysterectomy can have. This can be worsened substantially when they have to try to do so in Maternity Units surrounded by others who are pregnant. Whilst the treatment itself may be gratefully received, this practice can worsen the impact on their mental state, slow their recovery and ultimately, cost the NHS more in the longer term. It is insensitive and inhumane. Woman are people, not just bodies and should be treated such.

Traces of at least 41 different types of pesticides can be found in our town of Dorking. These chemicals are devastating to our local, natural environment, contaminating our natural resources relied on by wildlife such as birds, bees and hedgehogs -- and they’re dangerous to humans too. Urban pesticide use is unnecessary. Hundreds of parishes, towns and cities around the world & across the UK have banned them - including London’s Hammersmith and Fulham, Lewes, Glastonbury, Waderidge and, locally, the Parish of Frensham. Pesticides are currently sprayed in our parks, our playgrounds, our schools, and our residential streets. These chemicals have been linked to an array of health problems, from neurological disorders to Parkinson’s Disease, with vulnerable people such as children, pregnant women and the elderly most at risk. Realistic alternatives to using these dangerous chemicals do exist. By choosing to use organic and non-toxic systems such as hot water and foam technology, Mole Valley Council can show the residents of Dorking that they care for our health and the welfare of our local natural environment, to create an impact now and for future generations.

There have been several cases reported involving early deaths of individuals with learning disabilities and autism, not just in our NHS. The CQC (Care Quality Commission) inspect all registered care providers against regulations in the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) All registered care providers MUST provide mandatory training that is presented and is not just a paper exercise. Some of the key points that were raised in the LeDeR report (2018) which examined Mortality in individuals with Learning Disabilities include.. Just over half (57%) of the deaths were of males Most people (96%) were single Most people (93%) were of White ethnic background Just over a quarter (27%) had mild learning disabilities; 33% had moderate learning disabilities; 29% severe learning disabilities; and 11% profound or multiple learning disabilities. Approximately one in ten (9%) usually lived alone Approximately one in ten (9%) had been in an out-of-area placement

Keep the disabled and elderly safe during recycling. We all pay our council tax and have an equal right to use the the facility. Stairs shouldn't stop us. Queuing cars into the main road that is used to exit the town is unsafe.

A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE IN WHEELCHAIRS OR SCOOTERS, LIKE ME, ARE IN TERRIBLE PAIN ALREADY AND HAVING TO COPE WITH THIS 'OBSTACLE COURSE' OFTEN PUTS THEM OFF GOING OUT ALTOGETHER DEPRIVING THEM OF THE MUCH NEEDED FRESH AIR AND THEIR FREEDOM OF INDEPENDENCE, SO......... MAKING THEM HOUSEBOUND. THE CONCRETE GRIDS (LINES) BY THE CROSSINGS AND CYCLE LANES ALSO CAUSE A LOT OF PAIN.

It is essential that our national commitment to ecological issues both national and global, be seen to be all consuming and aware of ALL contributions to the global plastic waste issue.

I just spent £40.00 on a pollution mask so that I can cycle my way into town with feeling slightly safer with less exposure to the toxic levels of air pollution that fill the city. At first, on purchasing the mask it almost felt like the normal thing to do, increasingly seeing more masks pop up on cyclists faces throughout town. "Well the air dramatically exceeds legal toxicity levels, it gives me respiratory problems, it flares my hay-fever up terribly... I guess this is just something i need now because this is how it is, and i care about my health..." I thought to myself. But wait a minute... Why am i having to fork out forty quid so i can breath safely on my way to work?! Especially when I am one of the few who are trying to make a difference by choosing to cycle my way around town. I am not contributing to this health crisis yet I am paying for it. The truth is, we're all paying for it whether you're a cyclist, driver, walker, tuber. Having lived in London for 3 years now, and been a cyclist the entire time, the terrible air quality is something myself and friends have become increasingly aware of and is something we have noticed getting worse with little being done urgently to change this. "Around 9,500 people die in London alone every year due to long-term exposure to air pollution, with most deaths due to nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and fine particulates known as PM2.5s." (Guardian 7 Oct 2015) "The research based on the latest updated London Atmospheric Emissions Inventory, shows that every area in the capital exceeds World Health Organisation (WHO) limits for a damaging type of particle known as PM2.5. It also found that 7.9 million Londoners – nearly 95% of the capital’s population – live in areas that exceed the limit by 50% or more. In central London the average annual levels are almost double the WHO limit of 10 µg/m3." - (Guardian Oct, 2017) An "Ultra Low emission zone" set for 2019 and to be expanded by 2021 is a good step, but we need more urgent action to be taken. "Paul Morozzo, a clean air campaigner at Greenpeace, said: “London air isn’t safe to breathe. Every person in London is affected by this crisis – old or young, healthy or ill. The air you breathe in London is putting your health at risk now and in the future, whether you realise it or not." (Guardian 4 Oct 2017). Cyclists, walkers and members of the public who choose to opt out of driving/ public transport should be encouraged to continue staying green by being given pollution masks to wear in the increasingly dangerous and toxic environment. Although i feel this is by no means a solution to the problem, and Government must take more drastic steps to ensure the safety of the public here in London and in all areas across the country affected by air pollution, I feel this is a fair and necessary action until air quality improves. The Masks should be seen as an immediate and necessary tool to reduce the risk of illness in a city with a government that seems to refuse to take responsibility for the mess it has caused to air quality. I just don't feel this is something I should have to pay for when Government could implement stricter laws more urgently to protect it's people right now. High quality pollution masks such as the Respro Ultralight Pollution Mask filter out the deadly particulates and dust allowing you to breath cleaner air. I hope that this petition may reach and enlighten those who may not be aware of the severity of the crisis. I am not just campaigning for my own health and well-being, but for all in the city. We should all be wearing pollution masks right now, however you travel through the city. If you are concerned for you and your families health regarding air pollution, and you feel you should be protected with a mask, then I feel it is the responsibility of Government to provide you with one. I don't feel I should be rewarded or congratulated for choosing to cycle. I love cycling. I get everywhere faster, I have more fun, i get exercise and i feel good at the thought that i am not contributing to the air crisis. But I feel we all should have the right to breath safer, cleaner air, especially if you care enough to take positive action to combat the problem.

Carers are becoming ill with the huge strain put on them. Most working 24/7 - 365 days of the year with little or no help from outside sources. I have been one such Carer for eleven years and my health has deteriorated drastically because of it. There are even child Carers who have to help out at home and don't get paid anything as nobody knows about so many of them.

Treatment should be available to all especially if it means life or death.
