NHS Staff Deserve Pay Increases.NHS workers were on the frontline every day even before Covid-19 reared it's ugly head. It is not morally right to expect NHS workers to work long hours and punishing shift patterns in a medical war zone without having the proper PPE and acceptable remuneration. We ask that the Government grant NHS workers a 25% reduction on Residential Parking Permits, National Insurance and Council Tax, and that it raises the salaries of everyone working on the NHS frontline by 25%. New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has raken a voluntary 20% paycut for the next 6 months and set herself as an exemplary moral role model. The British public ask the British Government to do likewise and take a temporary 20% reduction in your pay. Now more than ever we need to have faith in our Government, and although most of you are working long hours trying to manage this situation and get the country back on its feet, we need to know that you are prepared to take a small financial hit to show solidarity with the British people who have had the financial rug pulled out from under them. Your 20% reduction could help to feed the families who have no idea where the next meal is coming from, or pay the rent of the people who are terrified that they are going to lose their homes. It won’t be forever, and it could make all the difference in the world. In summary we ask:- 1. Grant NHS workers 25% discount 2. Salaries of NHS staff to be increased by 25% 3. Pay student nurses a full nurses wage 4. Government officials to take a temporary 20% reduction in pay The NHS saved our Prime Minister's life. There is a way we can show our appreciation. Clapping on the doorstep is great, but let’s do something that will really make a difference to people’s lives.147 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Eve Bolton

Add a Food Bank Donate Button to Supermarket OrdersWith Food Banks being so vitally needed at the moment and with the huge increase in online supermarket orders adding a donation field seems a good way to raise loads of money. I used to drop a few items in the food bank baskets when shopping but as I am now not actually going to the supermarket I don’t have this option, I have donated money directly Food Banks but think the Donate button would encourage more people to do so easily.94 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Linda Day

COVID-19 NHS MEMORIALS: Waive the 10 Year Principle for Monuments in WestminsterAs it stands over 110 NHS workers have lost their lives to the coronavirus disease, putting themselves in harms way on the front-line to treat sufferers of COVID-19. The war against COVID-19 is primarily fought by the many health workers up and down the country and they should be recognised as soldiers of war under these circumstance. Those NHS workers who have lost their lives to this war on coronavirus must be commemorated and remembered in a Westminster monument before the year 2030.58 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Gracious Alma - GA Events

Protect our NHS servicesThe NHS can be broken down into different services and those that could make a profit could be sold off, with the buyer having the ability to charge the NHS fees to use those services.17 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Billy Halliday

Write off Tuition fee for healthcare workersCOVID-19 has revealed the importance of frontline healthcare workers. We have recognised their vital existence in serving our society. We applaud them weekly to acknowledge their services. Many people who want to serve in the healthcare sector, work very hard to succeed in the rigorous selection process to be accepted for their chosen paths. However, a significant dropout cohort is pinned on mental health issues during their time at medical/health sciences schools. During their courses of study, they study alongside worrying for the accumulating interest added loans. Many healthcare students abandon their courses due to stress/depression/anxiety. Major cause of their anxiety is financial issues. Doctors and nurses finish their courses bearing the burden of £50,000 to £80,000 or more. For many, the uncapped interest rate spiralling their loan into a lifetime repayment is unbearable. We need to protect our doctors, nurses and all healthcare workforce. One way of doing this is letting them study without financial worries. We have seen them work tirelessly. It is high time now to let them serve the nation by writing off their ridiculous amounts of loan repayments. Please give them the financial relief that will truly be life saver for them. This is the recognition they deserve.26 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Samina Butt

PAY THE NURSES WHAT THEY DESERVE, NOW !!this is important because they have had to endure ten years of austerity and now is the prime time we can all see how daunting and horrific this job truly is. The NHS has been under mined and grossly under funded for far far too long. Why the NHS just saved the PM's life and delivered his new child. If it didn't exist it wouldn't have done that. They face death and illness everyday without PPE and vital safe guarding apparel. The very least the government can do is pay these nurses what you would pay anyone else who risks their very lives to keep us safe.48 of 100 SignaturesCreated by thomas wilson

Stop killing sharksI feel this is important because underneath our human bodies we are just like them we eat we sleep we kill we stay together. To kill a shark would be to kill a human example 'if you kill a human you may love damage to family and friends and loved ones,what's to say these sharks dont gave familys and friends and loved one. I have followed sharks all my life they can be the most gentlest creature if just watch them and approached in a calming matter they have no reason to cause you any harm. I see a lot of countries like cutting them up for soup'food'clothing or medicine I find it absolutely appalling what if that was you they were chopping up for food'clothing or medicine or what if it was a family member for example a mother'father'daughter'son'relative or friend you would be heart broken and you would want justice brought to the people that did it. Well now I feel that justice should be brought forward for the sharks dont see why a creatures life is worth more than any humans,we evolved around these creatures for millions of years and learnt to live with them but now people just want to use them for there parts. Soon there wont be any sharks around for people to look at or sea either in the wild or in captivity because the people of different countries wish to kill them all. So I'm asking the world to now notice this is wrong and help petition for a ban against the killing of sharks'take a look at yourselves you wouldent kill your family for items,well sharks have families to think of what your doing before it's to late Thank you I hope you listen Sincerely,Brenden skeet24 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Brenden Skeet

Make fibromyalgia and other invisible illnesses recognised disabilities.I know from suffering with fibromyalgia myself and how it also affects others that we are vulnerable also. Even coming down with common cold can have many more complications for a sufferer than a otherwise healthy person. I rarely pick up one bug or virus, it often comes with another such as chest infections, tonsillitis and more. Suggesting that these illnesses certainly do have a huge impact on a sufferers immune system. However this and other invisible chronic illnesses are not listed as auto immune diseases. Let alone recognised as a disability.141 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Hazel Dymond

Private providers should cancel summer term accommodation chargesWhilst students are still in receipt of their maintenance loans and have received their summer payment many students have to top up the accommodation charges and rely on either parents or a part time job to make the payments. Under lock down conditions students are finding it difficult to work and many parents will be covering costs of their children living at home whilst also facing economic hardship. The Competition & Marketing Authority says they would expect refunds “for a consumer cancels or is prevented from receiving the service, due to the restrictions that apply during the current lockdown“. Even without financial hardship this suggest that charging under these current circumstances is wrong25 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Louise Simpson
