A Place of Sanctuary - Right Care, Right Time, Right PlaceWhat’s the problem? Nationally, mental health services are in crisis. Southwark Pensioners Action Group (SPAG) supports the campaign to open a Place of Sanctuary at the Maudsley Hospital, Denmark Hill site. Kings A&E feels like an awful place to be if you are having a mental health crisis because in a busy, hectic sometimes aggressive reception area alongside those with broken limbs or other physical trauma. It’s feels even worse if you are a child, a young person, a pregnant woman or a mum with a baby 60% of young people turning up in crisis are not known to mental health services for children and young people The significant increase in knife crime since January 2018 means Kings A&E is under huge pressure What do we want? A 24 hour walk-in Place of Sanctuary at the Maudsley Hospital Denmark Hill site for those in mental health crisis. Especially for Children and Young People, and Pregnant Women, Mothers with Babies in mental health crisis Mental health money must reach the frontline No more cuts to Children and Young Peoples’ mental health services in or out of hospital Why? Kings A&E is not a Place of Sanctuary for people who need emergency mental health treatment Excellent crisis care saves lives Our children, pregnant mums and mothers with young babies deserve far better emergency mental health services What time is it?? It’s TIME for the South London and Maudesley Hospital Trust to step up It’s TIME for the Trust to provide a 24 hour walk in Place of Sanctuary at Denmark Hill It’s TIME for the Trust to pull its weight for those in mental health crisis Who can do it? You can by signing this petition 59 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Cathy Deplessis

Clean Air Day 2018 - Making West Midlands Transport Fit for the FutureThe 21st June is National Clean Air Day, when children and adults across the West Midlands are pledging to walk, cycle and raise awareness of the effects of air pollution. As you know, all member authorities of the WMCA have areas which exceed legal limits of nitrogen dioxide. Evidence shows that such exposure reduces lung growth, contributes to long term ill health and can cause premature death. We hope that National Clean Air Day will reduce pollution on the day, but more importantly it is an opportunity to focus on the future. The single largest source of nitrogen dioxide in many areas is diesel cars, and in this region more than most this is due to a car dependency faced by many households. For too many people public transport, walking and cycling do not feel safe or practical. Road congestion damages our health, economy and communities, and the current dependence on cars is unsustainable with a growing population. Meanwhile, cars contribute to many of the other health challenges we face. Among these, the West Midlands has some of the highest childhood obesity rates in the country, and the lowest rates of physical activity - both would improve if children felt safe to walk and cycle. Sedentary lifestyles are closely linked to car use and contribute to major illnesses such as diabetes, heart disease and depression. The combined authority includes areas which already have some of the poorest health outcomes in the country. If the West Midlands is to grow inclusively the opportunity for health must be available to all residents, with clean air, safe roads, and well-connected transport.51 of 100 SignaturesCreated by West Midlands Clean Air Day

Stop Boots over-charging for vital health treatmentsWith the rise in demand for healthcare, and tight funding, the NHS is facing an existential challenge already. It should not need to face the rapacious greed of US-owned pharmaceutical companies.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Brian Toole

Remove VAT from female sanitary productsDue to the new sugar tax, the government is set to make £250 million a year. The very most female sanitary products could make from VAT is £130 million a year, and that's if every woman in the UK needed them, which clearly isn't possible, but it shows the maximum amount they could possibly make. It's clear sugar tax will make up this difference and making money wasn't even its primary reason for it being implemented. It's obvious female sanitary products are not a luxury item, and women all over the globe need them. Being charged VAT on them is simply ludicrous. There is simply no excuse now for VAT being on female sanitary products anymore even at a reduced rate. Periods aren't a choice, and female sanitary products are necessary to deal with it. Women shouldn't be charged on a product they NEED - not WANT, NEED. It doesn't make sense, its obvious it doesn't make sense and now it doesn't make sense financially either.17 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Sam Lee

Better funding and better access to mental health treatmentJust like physical health, we all have mental health. Sometimes we feel well and able to cope with everything. Other times we may feel low or stressed out, or struggle to get through the day. Mental health problems can affect anyone; it doesn’t matter what age or religion you are, whether you’re male or female, or your ethnicity. It doesn’t mean you’re weak, just that you need some support. Every week, 250,000 people will visit their doctor because they’re worried about their mental health. But nine out of ten people who experience mental health problems say they also have to live with prejudice and misunderstanding. It doesn’t have to be this way. Just like we need to look after our bodies to try to keep them healthy, we need to look after our minds too. From teaching others how to improve their resilience to creating outdoor spaces to improve mental health, young people could improve the mental wellbeing and resilience of families, Scouts and wider society52 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Kate Morris

Make our hospital car parks freeMost people visiting hospitals are either ill and therefore vulnerable or visiting a loved one. They are being punished by the car parking companies. These companies are often third parties not under the hospitals control and taking advantage of poorly people. The rise of hospital car parking charges is an an unaffordable level for many now. A 35 minute hospital visit to High Wycombe costs £3.50. For people on lower incomes or people visiting relatives with long term illnesses this is simply unfair and non sustainable. cool Greedy companies are taking advantage of people.6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Justin Jennings

N.H.S HOSPITAL CAR PARKING CHARGESThis issue was brought up at my local Patient Practice Group of which I am Chairman. There were quite a number of instances reported by the committee who support this action unanimously. The following are two of my own experiences. 1. In December, 2017 I took my sister-in-law to Sunderland Hospital. She was unable to walk and there was no ambulance available. I parked at the accident & emergency and with my wife I got her out of the car and into a wheelchair. My wife pushed her into the hospital whilst I reversed my cat into a disabled parking bay. several days later I received a £70 fine Parking notice 2. In February 2018 i took my wife for a scan to North tees Hospital. After I dropped her off I parked my car and went to the parking meter. Unlike Sunderland their was a fee chargeable for disabled drivers. The first 20 minutes parking was free but after that there was a charge which if not paid was subject to a £90 fine. It is impossible to be able to assess that my wife would be able to receive her treatment within 20 minutes. I decided to pay for the parking. The cost was £3 for the first hour as well as for the next 11 hours. As it happened my wife did not have to wait and she had her scan and returned to the car. We were parked for exactly 26 minutes. I had paid the 12 hour fee for 6 minutes. I also was inconvenienced as I had no change and the meter did not take notes or give change. I had to go back into the hospital for change for the parking meter.19 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Alan Liversidge
