We understand that local authority funding has been viscously cut by successive governments, since 2008. However we also understand that it is the legal responsibility of local authorities to deliver support and care to vulnerable people within their communities. We call on you, Andy Burnham, as mayor of Greater Manchester and figure head for the Greater Manchester Combined Authority, to take a stand.

NHS staff are facing a new peril that is sweeping across the UK. Frimley Health Trust is creating a Wholly owned subsidiary company that is another route for the Trust to cut terms and conditions for staff and save money through avoiding VAT. Frimley Health will have a private company which will be set up by them to deliver outsourced NHS services. Please support our NHS workers who are under threat of being privatised by signing the petition. #NHSmeansNHS

We started this project because the sport of climbing is completely unrepresented in our area. We want to give people the chance to experience the fun and excitement involved in climbing and to expand their resources to achieve a healthy lifestyle. The people in our community have already showed a huge amount of interest in this project and with climbing's debut in the 2020 Olympics there's no better time to make this project a reality.

Without this facility children with life limiting conditions and their families will suffer and there will be an impact on NHS services in the local area that are already overstretched and cannot provide the type of care that Forget Me Not specialises in. The work they do is so important, let’s hope none of us ever need their support but it would be reassuring that should we be in that difficult position, Forget Me Not would still exist to provide help and care.

This is important to me and a lot of of patients.. I have been attending this surgery for the past 10 years and have built up a strong bond and trust these guys with my life. My daughter, autistic and severe Learning disabilities has also attended here for the past 7 years. She trusts the doctor she sees on a regular basis and is really comfortable going. This is something that will completely change if we have to move. I will not be able to get her to the doctors due to her anxiety and behavioural issues. This is a huge disappointment not only for my family but many of other families in situations like myself. Realistically, how are alternative surgerys in Shrewsbury going to accommodate nearly 4,000 patients? People are struggling as it is to get appointments with their gps, the closure of Whitehall is going to add pressure and majorly effect other gp surgeries in Shrewsbury.

Two of the three local authorities involved in scrutinising these plans have rejected them and referred them to the Secretary of State for Health, Matt Hancock MP.  Respected local health professionals believe they will result in irreversible harm to the health of the population served by Southend Hospital and must be stopped now.  Many local residents have expressed deep concerns over the plans and made their feelings clear during the consultation process.  Chief Executive of the three hospital Trusts in mid and south Essex, Claire Panniker, along with her management board, have unilaterally decided that they can wait no longer for the outcome of the referral process and are initiating changes set out in the referred STP plan. Any reasonable person would expect a complete cessation of changes pending the decision of the Health Secretary. The Trust's management risk squandering vast amounts of NHS funds with their gung-ho attitude on changes that may ultimately be refused permission to take place.

I myself and many of the other elderly/ house bound patients will find it extremely difficult to travel to Royton or Shaw health centre for NHS doctors services. I ask the health authority bodies to keep this Trent Road surgery open.

People are struggling to get a GP appointment so are turning to A&E, which puts more pressure on them! And has increased the waiting times even more. The walk in centre also saved my life from another potential stroke! By acting very quickly.

My son hung himself on the 18/05/19, society has stigmas about seeking help or medication and there is lack of education in schools on mental health

My 14 month old son, Max, suffers from an allergy to cow's milk. This means all dairy products and other products containing milk are out of the question for him. Because he is breastfed, it means I must be strictly dairy free too. Only a tiny amount of the allergen needs to be present in my breastmilk in order to cause a reaction in him.  Last week he suffered an allergic reaction after I ate a small slice of angel cake from the Co-Op. I had been regularly buying the same angel cake over the last 14 months from the Co-Op because it was safe for me to eat and did not contain any dairy products. While my diet is restricted it became my little treat.  On this occasion, unbeknown to me, the recipe had been changed and now contains milk. There was NOTHING on the front of the packet to alert me to this change. The packaging was identical to the original packaging.  It was only when I realised it tasted different that I checked the ingredients on the back of the packet that I discovered the change. Too late. We are "lucky" in that Max's allergy is a non-IGE allergy; in real terms, for us that means a delayed, non life threatening reaction which results in tummy troubles and a couple of weeks of disturbed sleep. But, what if he was anaphylactic to dairy? The consequences could have been MUCH worse. For some allergy sufferers this could have been a matter of life or death! I contacted the Co-Op who explained that legally they have done everything required of them by listing allergens in bold on the ingredients list, but they went on to admit they have "missed the mark" with this, and have promised to update the packaging immediately with an "allergy update", and to take steps to avoid this happening with future products. I am calling a for legal obligation for food manufacturers to display clear allergen update alerts on the FRONT of their packaging whenever one of the main 12 allergens are added: milk, cereals inculding wheat, rye, barley and oats, crustaceans, fish, nuts, soybeans, celery, mustard, sesame, sulphites, lupin and molluscs. Please sign this petition and help prevent a tragedy for someone who might not be as lucky as Max.

Statistics show that three quarters of survivors contacting Rape Crisis centres do so over an incident that occurred at least 12 months earlier (1). It has been shown that where television programmes include storylines on sexual violence, there has been an increase in calls to support helplines. The Rape Crisis Helpline experienced a 132% increase in calls after the showing of Broadchurch (2), a similar spike in calls to support helplines was experienced following the rape of David Platt in Coronation Street (3). This information shows that survivors are often prompted to seek support following depictions of sexual violence on television. We are concerned that whilst terrestrial channels have moved to provide support information, they are inconsistent in their approach and this information is not available at all when the same programmes are watched via the internet/download apps (4).  Having support information available consistently and across all platforms helps people access support when they need it. By not having this information available it can leave viewers unsafe when affected by such content. In addition, it can also give out confusing messages around consent, sex and rape, when support information is not given after storylines where content is less explicit – for example in storylines involving coercion.
