Students experiencing mental health difficulties need to be supported by their University as fully as possible. Being given access to the university mental health services is not always substantial. Students should be empowered to help themselves. Moderate exercise has been proven to help improve mood and general well being. Therefore, there should be no barrier preventing individuals from being able to attend regular gym classes. Classes can be expensive, and for those who find it difficult to motivate themselves in the first place, the cost of the class can be a further disincentive. Furthermore, financial hardship at university can be inflated by the experience of a mental health problem. Giving those with a diagnosed condition free access to the exercise program encourages them to take positive action to help themself. Better mental health can result in improved academic performance, and being part of an exercise class can improve someones mood and self esteem by enhancing their feelings of belonging within a community. Please sign this petition to encourage the University of Strathclyde to create a system which gives those with a diagnosed mental health problem free exercise class access/ passes.

Air pollution can permanently damage children's developing lungs and has been linked to a lower IQ later in life. Air pollution has been implicated in 40,000 premature deaths in the UK already, and it's only going to get worse. 2,091 schools, nurseries, further education centres and after-school clubs in the UK are within 150 metres of a road with illegal levels of nitrogen dioxide. Is it too much to ask that schools should offer our kids a safe haven from air pollution, not worsen their health and damage their future prospects?

Because otherwise this sets a precedent for the NHS denying treatment for certain groups.

The umbilical cord can be matched with a child to use in cancer treatment and any other medical treatments.

It is not morally right that those injured during their service to their country should be denied their awards

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.
