The symptoms of TMJD include facial pain, reduced mouth opening and headaches which can be very debilitating. TMJD affects approx. 25% of the population. There are very few NHS clinics which provide TMJD treatment in the UK compared to the USA even though there are NICE Guidelines set out for TMJD, most patients who do not know that treatment is available.

House prices are already falling behind other areas of the country and the already crumbling roads cant cope with the extra traffic. The environment will be destroyed and the money will not remain in the Fylde and maybe not in the UK. A study shows that the increase in employment is dwarfed by the loss of agriculture jobs not to mention the reduction in the tourism industry.

N.I.C.E. have recommended acupuncture for low back pain since 2009 and are now reversing their decision.The British Acupuncture Federation (BAF) which represents six organisations covering all styles of acupuncture can attest to its effectiveness for this condition based on proven outcomes. The US military obviously agrees with BAF with regard to acupuncture's effectiveness in pain relief as its Warrior Transition Unit Clinics treat large numbers of soldiers injured in combat with Battlefield Acupuncture for pain relief. The World Health Organisation states that low back pain is the leading cause of activity limitation and work absence throughout much of the world, so if you haven't suffered from it yet, the odds are that you will. Do you want to be deprived of an effective treatment within the NHS and have to rely on anti-inflammatory drugs with their known side effects? -- If not please sign the petition and support patient choice.

I am a young champion for time to change (the national movement to end the stigma surrounding mental health) I am not however acting for or working for time to change. I feel that it is really important to try and help tackle the stigma attached to Mental Health therefore enabling people to accept and seek help when they need to without being afraid of being stigmatised against. I know from personal experience the misconceptions and stigma surrounding these conditions can prevent you from accessing or seeking help without being labeled. For example I did not want to seek the help I needed until my problems got so bad that there was no choice but to get help as I could not look after myself. I did not want to be classed as an "attention seeker" amongst other things. Also I did not have any knowledge of any Mental Health conditions or even know they existed so could not see the early warning signs that meant something was not right and I needed help.

I would like to understand why HRT is not free on the NHS. I would like to know as at the age of 29 year old I have to pay £8.45 a month for HRT as I have endometriosis when the contraceptive pill is free. I do have a prepaid annual prescription card that costs £104.00. But not every woman can afford this. Endometriosis awareness is very important. I started my period when I was 11. I didn't realise that they weren't 'normal.' If I had been made aware of the condition it may not have taken me so long for me to get diagnosed, as was one of the common side effects of endometriosis is Irregular and painful periods.

The use of glyphosates has already been banned or restricted in 8 countries. It is not acceptable that ourselves, our children and the animals we share our community with are being routinely exposed to these chemicals whether we like it or not. This is a matter of great importance for those of us who care about each other's health and the health of our children, our cats, our dogs and all the flora and fauna of this city, of course including our beloved bees.

Overuse of antibiotics are harmful- government agrees. Doctors are trying to restrict them. Why are they allowed in the food chain and if so put on label - simple

The bringing into hospital, germs etc, without due care and attention to the risk of Clinicians carrying the germs and infection to patients

It is another, very sorry state of affairs, that yet another NHS surgery, is being forced to close down, due to rising rents, NHS cutbacks and-frankly-a total disregard for the welfare of thousands of patients and their RIGHTS to expect and receive consultation(s), treatment(s) and professional care, from our GP's. So, Our practice is being forced to close, in March 2017, so that all of its patients shall have no other option but go 'elsewhere' to register with another surgery. As you are all, likely aware, a Doctor/Patient relationship is dependent on trust and familiarity. Doubtless, this relationship shall be compromised-particularly to the many of older and/or those with more serious ongoing conditions. Furthermore, the dread of such serious change might actually have a detrimental effect on some patients' already fragile health. At the very least, chaos bodes. Please ask yourselves this question: with yet another closure, where can the patients go? Surgeries are already at bursting point and the Government seems bent on privatisation, which means that ANYBODY who depends on their local surgery is at risk of substandard health care and therefore, deteriorating conditions, BECAUSE THEY ARE CLOSING THE ONE PLACE WHICH PATIENTS SHOULD BE ABLE TO RELY ON. Two years ago, I had extremely serious health problems. Had it not been for the NHS, I would have died. My Doctor, at surgery, was immeasurably important in galvanising the correct treatment and/or medication, so vital in turning the illnesses around. Not once but three times. In short, were it not for my GP's locale and readiness to accept the critical treatments needed, I would have died. So, how many more like examples of the necessity of local surgeries are there? If it is something you cannot associate with yourself, then-BET YOUR LIFE-you know somebody that it has happened to. Therefore, I am urging you all, for the well being of yourself, your families, friends and those who desperately NEED your wonderful surgery, please sign this petition to stop the closure at Union Row. Furthermore, I urge you to focus on not only your health but that of the NHS itself. PLEASE DON'T LET THIS PASS YOU BY. ONE DAY, WE SHALL ALL NEED THE NHS.

Lives are at risk by not letting people donate who can donate. Every drop counts, even if it extends a life by just a few years. When a couple is together for a year, they can get a aids test done and let that result be the green or red light for donations. There is a higher risk in heterosexual couples who participate in "dogging" , if blood stocks are that low as they claim it is, every drop of blood counts. If this works then another campaign can be tagged on this one to allow people donating after ten years after the transfusion date. The symptoms should show by then to proof you have it or not.

A lot of over 60's are on very little income and struggle to meet dental costs, therefore being unable to have proper dental care. Let's get things changed to enable fairness in health across the board.

So many people in the UK are either suffering or know someone that is. Mental health is just as important as physical health, but we never hear about it until it's happening to us or around us. Why hasn't this been raised before? In 2013/14 there were 51,000 referrals of 15–19-year-olds to psychological therapies, with referrals for young women double the number of referrals for young men. And, Ten per cent of children and young people (aged 5-16 years) have a clinically diagnosable mental problem, yet 70% of children and adolescents who experience mental health problems have not had appropriate interventions at a sufficiently early age I didn't know what depression was until I was diagnosed, sometimes that is too late. By educating people, opening their minds to it all, we are enabling a much better stigma free nation for those who do suffer.
