So it's not so scary when it first happens and it will promote good health and hygiene information for them also encourage young girls to talk about it. Also give them a choice of which products suit them. Everyone is different and will need different products. So much choice out there and it can be daunting. This would ensure all girls are treated the same from the start with the same information to help them too.

The morale of the NHS staff is at a low ebb and hardly surprising considering how unfairly they are treat compared to other employments. Where else would they condone the loss of holiday entitlements without compensation/remuneration? In this day and age it is a scandal. Our NHS are losing staff and it's hardly surprising. We need to support them and stand up for the abominable disparity that exists between working conditions in the public and private sector. No one, in this day and age, would condone the loss of almost a full weeks holiday entitlement due to staff shortages. We need our NHS staff, this is only one, of many, injustices we need to rectify.

It is abhorrent that in a country as wealthy as ours, a man has been allowed to die on the streets of Glasgow because he had nowhere to go. Glasgow City Council website states that: “As a minimum, the council will arrange for you to receive: Advice and Information Temporary Accommodation” We demand that Glasgow City Council acts immediately to fulfil it's duty to the people of Glasgow. Everyone who presents themselves at a Council facility as homeless, should immediately be provided with somewhere safe and warm to stay, until such times as they are able to find permanent accommodation. Furthermore, we demand an end to the policy of abandoning our friends who are deemed to have made themselves intentionally homeless. This unfairly punishes people unfamiliar with the law or who are victims of bullying by rogue landlords.

The CYCLE HUB will compliment our beautiful coastline whilst providing a 'stand-out' attraction for the many cyclists, tourists and general public whom already frequent the Spanish Battery. The development will assist with the enhancement and preservation of the Tynemouth conservation area and local heritage for generations to come. North Tyneside attracts approximately 5.8 million visitors each year who inject £279 Million into the local economy, supporting over 3500 jobs. This proposal will open a disused private garden into a considerate, visually low-impact CYCLE HUB that will only be visible from the southern aspect on the River Tyne. From the outset the building has been sensitively designed to ensure the iconic views to and from the Brigade Watch House remain unspoilt. The building will be sunk beneath a manicured lawn at the same level as the current garden. We have even gone as far as to store refuse bins below ground level. Two large car parks already exist to provide customers with parking. Additional spaces will be allocated for the sole use of the Tynemouth Volunteer Life Brigades response vehicles, whilst residents parking will remain untouched. Those living on the Battery will be un-effected by the building as the aim is to cater for passing trade that already exists. The vast majority of our intended customers will arrive by foot or cycle. Our vision is to provide Tynemouth with a gateway amenity that links to the National Cycle Network and provides a valuable facility for Tynemouth residents and the wider general public. The development will ensure a notable finishing point for those tackling the challenge of the Coast to Coast/Coast to Castles/Great North Bike Rides. In essence the Cycle Hub will establish Tynemouth as a key destination within the cycling community. A multitude of independent reporting commissioned by UK GOV indicates that development and investment in cycling infrastructure and sustainable transport provides the following: • Creates inward investment to an area. • Brings more jobs and positively effects the labour market, contractors and wider infrastructure/services. • Increases health of those in the area, with exercise in excess of Chief Medical Officers guidelines. • Boosts the local economy and business • Creates a modal shift in the well being of individuals. • Increases social inclusion and connectivity. • Makes better cities and neighbourhoods. • A reduction in Crime Rate. • An increase in rental and property prices. • Eases congestion. • Improves air quality. The North East of England is renowned for its warmth and hospitality, we look forward to providing a facility that welcomes one and all.

Resistance to antibiotics has risen to 20% of cases. The rise of antibiotic resistant super strains of tuberculosis is global and threaten a return to Victorian levels when whole streets of children were infected and many died. We need a review of international treatment protocols and mass inoculation of our children. Inoculation is not affective after puberty.

Theresa May has begun the process of Britain leaving the European Union. This raises the question of the rights of EU nationals presently living in Britain, who make a huge contribution to our society. The government has refused to guarantee these rights, saying it will wait until there is a deal involving British nationals who live in the rest of Europe. But people are not bargaining chips. The government’s attitude means terrible insecurity for EU nationals and their families. EU nationals who have come to live or work or study in Britain should have their rights guaranteed now —full rights, indefinitely. Anything else means that at least some people will be forcibly removed from Britain, families torn apart, valuable workers lost and there will be even more restrictions on those who are allowed to stay. Already any EU national applying for proof of residency must now show they have been living and working in Britain for the past five years. They are required to provide documents for every occasion they have left Britain in that period. Those who have not been working must reportedly show they took out comprehensive health insurance—a requirement that was little known until recently. The government’s refusal to grant workers’ rights is already hitting key services. Only 96 nurses joined the NHS from other European nations in December 2016 – a drop from 1,304 in July that year. This comes at a time when there are 24,000 nurse vacancies unfilled and the government’s withdrawal of bursaries for trainee nurses is making matters worse. The government must guarantee EU nationals full rights now.

Adults with Cerebral Palsy (CP) are failed in the UK by lack of dedicated and co-ordinated medical provision. The lack of recognition and knowledge of the degenerative impact of CP results in adults not benefiting from the timely monitoring, maintenance and intervention required to enable them to fulfil their full life potential. I am a 41 year old mother of 3 who has CP and until recently was living a full and active life working as a Speech and Language Therapist. I underwent major hip surgery in September 2015 to try to slow down the progress of the arthritis in my hips caused by the degenerative impact of the strain put on my body by CP. I am now unable to work and use crutches to aid my mobility. I have become increasingly frustrated at the lack of knowledge and services available for adults with Cerebral Palsy and I know my experiences are not unique. Adults with CP face unique challenges that often require specialised care e.g. pain management, mobility problems, and aging-related conditions such as osteoarthritis and osteoporosis. Yet, co-ordinated services stop on transition to adulthood. The key barriers for successful healthcare are • The lack of young adult services and no obvious transition pathway from paediatric to adult services. • No best practice guidance on the treatment and management of adults with CP • Lack of knowledge and understanding of long term impact of living with CP The impact of these failings is unnecessary pain, reduced quality of life and avoidable medical problems for sufferers, whilst decreasing their ability to participate in the workforce. This is also leading to increased cost and strain on already stretched health and social care services. We are too big a population to ignore • 111,000 people have CP in the UK (similar population to MS and Parkinson’s) • The current UK incidence rate is around 1 in 400 births (making it three times more common than Down syndrome and nearly 30 times more common than muscular dystrophy) • Approximately 1,800 children are diagnosed with cerebral palsy every year • There are an estimated 30,000 children with cerebral palsy in the UK who will all require support as they transition into adulthood. • Research indicates that most will have a similar life expectancy to non-disabled people The costs of Cerebral Palsy • Care Commissioning Groups, Local Authorities and Trusts struggle to provide any information as to the number of children diagnosed with CP, the service and care pathways available to them or the total cost of cerebral palsy care (2016 study by Action Cerebral Palsy) • The lifetime costs for children born in 2016 with cerebral palsy is estimated to total £2bn. This is based on international benchmarks, with 20% related to medical costs and 80% to indirect factors such as reduced employment opportunities and premature mortality • Over 20% of CP sufferers will experience a decline in mobility by the time they reach 40

A SOCIAL care service supporting vulnerable people across Maldon and the Dengie is to be axed. One Support, which provides social care to around 1,600 elderly and vulnerable residents with physical and mental health problems, is due to be completely removed from the Maldon and Dengie areas by March 31. Carers visit clients at least once a week to help them manage their day-to-day life, including organising finances to helping carry out household jobs. The programme is a subsidiary of One Housing, which helps create homes and support people to help them live better and healthier, and is jointly managed by Essex County Council and Moat Housing. However, those who receive the support have been informed that the service will no longer be provided, as part of planned cuts of £713,000 to social care in Essex. It is understood ten staff will lose their jobs.

Hello my name is tony Pearson i am creating this petition for diabetes as my partner is currently on a dafne course and has learned so much about managing and controlling her diabetes. Which to me is terrible because her usual meetings with her diabetic nurse appointments on 3-4 monthly meetings don't disclose the knowledge she could gain from a diabetic nurse who is dafne trained who could then show my partner a better way of learning how her own body works with blood sugar levels . So my petition is to ensure that the NHS gets the funding to train all diabetic nurses to be DAFNE trained instead of plowing millions of pounds into building submarines that just sit in a harbour gaining rust to apparently protect us from threat. From who ? Thank you for reading.

IVF is an amazing treatment that allows couples who have exhausted all other avenues a chance at conceiving their own child. Currently, despite the National Institute for Clinical Excellence recommending 3 cycles of treatment funded by the NHS, only one shot is allowed to couples here. Now the local clinical commissioning group are proposing to end this entirely. I know several women who have successfully conceived thanks to IVF funded by the NHS. One of them told me; 'I know firsthand how utterly devastating it can be to find you are unable to conceive naturally. The years my partner and I spent fruitlessly trying for a baby were beyond comparison the most difficult experience I have been through. I can’t express the relief when we were finally referred for fertility treatment on the NHS, or the joy when it worked. Fertility is a health issue and the NHS exists to look after everyone’s health. Treatment for infertility shouldn’t be something that’s only available to those who can afford to pay for it.” Imagine this opportunity being denied to people who cannot afford expensive private treatment? The proposals will save the regional NHS £700,000. A very small amount of money when you compare the figure to the £17.6m the NHS has been forced to spend on private management consultants to draw up new 'transformation' plans demanded by the government. We must not allow this option for couples to be ended. Please sign, share and ask your friends to sign, so that we can show that the people of Cambridgeshire and Peterborough will not accept this miserable proposal going any further.

Currently, the junction where Commerce Street and Denwell Road meet High Street is extremely hazardous for children travelling to school. Cars are parked up along either side of High Street leaving poor visibility for pedestrians. Cars travel at speed round the corner from Denwell Drive and Commerce Street into High Street making it very hazardous for children walking to and from school. Although the council has been approached nothing has been put in place to mitigate the risk to school children from this dangerous crossing. It seems only a matter of time before an accident happens.
