I work in a hospital enviroment where i see families affected by the common STI, Chlamydia ( Chlamydia Trachomatis). But what shocked me the most is the UK NSC and Public health have not worked together to approve Chlamydia screening in pregnant woman. I have seen women and heard stories from women, who have given birth to babies that have had Chlamydia that has been passed on by the mother while being vaginally delivered. These women have not known that they had Chlamydia and feel a sense of guilt and anger that the fact they never knew which could hhave been prevented and that they had passed this on to their baby. Chlamydia could potentially be fatal to a baby if left untreated, It can cause the baby to have very bad eye infections ( inclusion conjunctivitis) from being exposed to the mothers infected vaginal fluids, it could lead to an infection in the respiratory tract, causing infant pneumonia which if this isn't then picked up could lead to respiratory failure. A women who is infected increases the risk of her waters breaking prematurely, causing the baby to also be born early. This is why it is important for me to get this changed. It costs the NHS less to test the mother before baby arrives, to what it does when both mother and baby need treating with antibiotics. the stress and suffering of seeing a poorly baby should be enough to ensure that every mother is given every right to ensure her health is well before her baby enters the world and be given a right to a healthy baby. Its not fair on the little babies Some hospitals do do this but its not a necessary screen nationally, which is why we need this to be a national screening process. Women asume that they have been tested, but its not always the case for a lot of pregnant women. Please support this campaign. I want this changed nationally so it becomes apart of the antenatal screening process and Public health and the uk NSC to make a decision in making this possible. Please sign..

There are simply too many tennis members trying to book indoor courts unsuccessfully. Tennis coaching has booking priority rights by 24hours, resulting in paying members struggling to source court availability - especially at 'peak times'. The number of coaches utilising the courts within 'peak times' appears to have recently escalated - is this fair to paying members?

Otherwise some people will die younger, some will not integrate with society, people at work will lose their jobs and effect local prosperity. Staff will not be able to work in a job they have trained hard to achieve. People will be at risk to themselves and others and will be unfairly accommodated in a police station. Remember, people with mental health problems are often highly skilled with a creative lateral thinking process.

Cuts and closures aren’t the only option. If the government gave the NHS the money it needs, it’d mean decisions could be made with patients in mind.

Large companies like Indigo, who provide car parks at Hospitals around the country make millions of pounds of profit charging extortionate fees to patients, relatives and staff who need access to the hospitals. Only a small portion of these profits are turned over to the NHS, with the majority going to tax subsidised firms who continue to rake in millions of pounds. If these long-term contracts were torn up by our Government and NHS England, prices could be regulated, and all of the profits could go directly into the struggling Health Service. As it stands, these heartless companies are ripping off thousands each day, the NHS is getting a bad deal, and more and more power is being directed into the hands of a few. http://www.southwales-eveningpost.co.uk/nurse-given-parking-ticket-while-she-was-in-hospital-possibly-trying-to-save-someone-s-life/story-30155046-detail/story.html Change is needed now!

The Children's Sleep Charity is contacted by hundreds of families each week, many who are at crisis point due to sleep deprivation. We are unable to meet demand due to lack of funding. Sleep deprivation is costly to society and impacts negatively on the mental, emotional and physical wellbeing of the whole family. Currently sleep support is unregulated which means that anybody can set up a business and offer a family information. Inappropriately trained practitioners can provide mis-information to vulnerable families. Sleep support needs regulation in order to protect families. The importance of sleep must be addressed urgently. Evidence shows that providing a behavioural approach to sleep is effective and also hugely cost saving to the NHS.

Too many people reach the end of their lives, and sadly are in tremendous pain and have lost their dignity. The medical profession keeps these people alive against their will. This is inhuman. My father, mother and aunt all begged me to terminate their lives to end their suffering. That was over 40 years ago and nothing has changed. Please read this distressing link about Flora, who died recently in Fife. BEWARE IT IS GRAPHICALLY DISTURBING. www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/help-die-family-release-heartbreaking-9614060

These checks are important to anyone who has a job working with the sick, disabled, or children. All care/support workers, nurses, and teachers cannot legally work in the uk without a current DBS check. However the government currently has a back log of over 150.000.00 people (and rising) who cannot start work in much needed services such as the NHS and community support as they are still waiting for their DBS.

It is unethical to profit from a very vulnerable, although massive percentage of the population, in the name of progress. Quality of life has to be a major contributory factor when people are kept alive and "well". How can society justify this unethical practice when all we can offer is a longer life (with the help of medicines) for a great deal of these people who often live in misery and isolation with at best, for many, a 15 minute call from a carer, which may be the only human contact they have on a daily basis, at worst no human contact for several days at a time? My elderly parents (both in their 90's) are fortunate, as they have 5 caring children, who assist in the domestic, shopping , transport, outings and upkeep of their home. Others are not so fortunate. We need to campaign to look at solutions to this ever growing challenge of making the elderly a target for government often directing their "blame" for the state of our health and social care services. They don't just need basic care, but recreation and socialisation to ensure a good quality of life. Ian Wright my local MP (Hartlepool) has ignored my email so please help with this campaign to raise awareness of this plight on behalf of our elderly population and get at least a debate in Parliament on this emotive issue. We owe it to them.

Living with asthma is hard enough having free prescriptions would help to make what is already a challenging life a little bit easier.

The NHS is a lifesaver, more cuts isn't the answer. It is free at the point of delivery, if we need treatment at hospital we don't leave with a bill as in other countries. Privatisation and outsourcing is not the answer either. The NHS needs funding but instead NHS bosses in Worcestershire are drawing up plans to cut and close local services. There’s a funding gap, and two hundred community beds are earmarked for closure across Herefordshire and Worcestershire, for estimated 'savings' of £230 million, these are not savings but cuts! The NHS is already at breaking point, and the facts show that this Government has not been funding it adequately, we are now experiencing the biggest sustained fall in NHS spending in any period since 1951.

Why should it be the hard working people who always have to stump up? Let Government stump up for a welcome change!!!
