In a recent survey 82% want to die in their own homes but only 18% actually are able to do this. Learn from organisations like Colchester & Tendring "Single Point" a joined up service who made it possible for my Mother to stay at home until she passed away. As I work in this field I knew how the system worked re the Mental Capacity act assessments worked and we were able to avoid a 3rd hospital admission. The out of hours service do not have access to her preferred place of care notes but as she was able to express her wishes despite her dementia my Mother got what she wanted, we saved the taxpayer money and gave her the wish to die at home. It was not an easy choice for us to make but I have no regrets. She died with dignity and respect and she passed peacefully away in her own bed, with family present who were chatting to her despite her being unconscious and holding her hand. Now isn't that all any of us can ask for. The Health and social services system is geared to hospital/nursing/residential homes so under the current system you need to be really clued up to navigate through "the Care Act 2014". Please make it easier for a family/friends/neighbours/carers to assist patients to make an informed choice. Make more information available about the kind of support they could have and training opportunities as needed in how to care for someone at the end of their life, emotionally, physically and spiritually. Please train more community carers in end of life (palliative) care and make emotional support available for all who do this work. Let's get back to community caring rather than just caring being a business.

We believe that the Public Space Protection Order proposed by Stockport Council will lead to the criminalisation of homeless people. The order will outlaw the use of legal highs or other intoxicating substances, begging, urinating or defecating, sitting or lying down within five metres of a shop doorway or ATM within a designated area in the town centre. However we feel that there are existing laws to deal with anti-social behaviour. The aim to move on and or fine people up to £1000 who are begging, sitting or lying down is not appropriate. Homelessness is not a crime. We are also concerned about the way in which the public consultation has been carried out. This took the form of a series of questions leading the public in a particular direction. It has not been possible to see a copy of the order during the consultation, only vague statements. This does not follow government legislation and does not allow the public to make an informed decision.

Many local people rely on this hospital for various reasons. Many elderly and disabled people rely on this being a local hospital, easier to access than the larger Torbay Hospital, based in Torquay.

In 2014 my husband Joe Bohen was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer: Neuroendocrine Tumours (NET.) It had already spread from his lungs to his liver, lymph nodes and spine when discovered and is inoperable, BUT the disease has been controlled by Lanreotide and he has since enjoyed a good quality of life. However, in March we were told that the tumours were growing again. As if that news wasn't bad enough, we were told that PRRT which could very likely stop further growth, was removed from the Cancer Drugs Fund last September and he can't have the drug. PRRT is available throughout Europe and in other parts of the UK - this decision only affects people living in England. How fair is that? Would Bruce Keogh (Chief Executive of NHS England) or Jeremy Hunt (Health Secretary) be happy if a member of their family needed this drug but was denied it because of their post code? Apparently, NICE are considering PRRT. Their deliberations will take until Autumn of 2017. That will simply be too late for Joe and hundreds of others living with this rare form of cancer. Please sign the petition to reverse this outrageous health inequality.

Shortfalls in taxation (I.e.the funding for public services) is directly attributable to the global tax policies of companies who think HOW they trade doesn't matter. We should not accept tax dodging as an inevitable consequence of free trade. Director and shareholder behaviour will only change when transglobals realise these aggressive and anticompetitive policies are unsustainable. Moving, with immediate notice, to 'name and shame' will help consumers to make informed choices in future, and will cost offending transglobals both new and loyal customers as well as their reputation with shareholders and markets. If shareholders cannot create ethical and sustainable policies on their own account, they will have to be encouraged by Governments to do so. As Government is aware, the EU The Anti Tax Avoidance Directive sets out a comprehensive framework of anti-abuse measures, containing five legally-binding anti-abuse measures, which all Member States should apply against common forms of aggressive tax planning. This includes measures to deter profit shifting to a 'low / no' tax country, to prevent double 'non-taxation' of certain income, to prevent companies from avoiding tax when 're-locating' assets, to discourage artificial debt arrangements designed to minimise taxes and the additional safeguard of the anti-abuse rule designed to counteract aggressive tax planning. As an absolute minimum measure today, Government should immediately escalate a 'name and shame' policy to encourage consumers to be aware, so consumers can use alternative brands or local companies who fairly pay taxes in markets they sell to. With Liam Fox looking to resurrect a new version of the dreadful TTIP or dubious CETA with the US, involving potentially highly contentious ISDS, we should demand to know why so many huge US companies play on this kind of uneven tax playing field, as well as make it clear that this is a global problem which individual nation states ARE willing to take on, in order to protect local competition and essential services for UK citizens. UK Government should take a lead in saying we welcome trade and business, but not at any price. Pay to play!! Irrespective of the status of Brexi by 2019, the UK MUST ensure that it applies the EU Anti Tax Avoiance measure from 1 January 2019 ,which provide the minimum level of protection against corporate tax avoidance throughout the EU, while ensuring a fairer and more stable environment collectively for UK and European businesses in competition with transglobals brands. In doing this, Government will need to distance itself from the antidemocratic influence of the far right press, as their vested interests are in continued tax avoidance loopholes, irrespective of whether their owners are British citizens, foreign born or foreign domiciled. The first priority must be to protect British companies and British public services.

It is the human right of all children to be educated: they are the future of humanity. On a less pompous, more personal level, I'm glad that my own children are now grown up. Three of them attended one of the 17 schools, Firrhill High, luckily before it was rebuilt, otherwise I'd be sick with worry, not just for their physical safety, but because at least one of them would have been studying for Highers and might not have sailed confidently into the adult world as a fully-qualified professional, as all indeed have done. Thank you Firrhill. http://www.theguardian.com/education/2016/apr/11/serious-defects-two-more-edinburgh-schools-built-using-pfi http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/edinburgh-school-crisis-consortium-facing-million-pound-penalty-1-4096273

Nothing is more important than keeping children safe. There have been several speeding car near misses with young children on Eden Lane. Installing traffic calming measures on Eden Lane will hopefully prevent any future serious injury or death due to speeding.

The current parish boundaries were drawn up long before Beverley had a building boom, which saw the settlement grow into the continuous built-up area we now know. The separation into three parish authorities is now outdated, and no longer reflects the community. It also means that some residents living in Beverley, specifically to the North and the South of Beverley, do not have a say on Beverley Town Council because they belong to Molescroft Parish and Woodmansey Parish. In other words, the current community governance arrangements hinder effective local government. Residents on Lincoln Way and the surrounding area are unlikely to consider themselves as living in Woodmansey. Moreover, residents have expressed concern that their interests are not properly represented on Woodmansey Parish, as exemplified in said parish council’s decision to commission a Neighbourhood Plan that covers only the village itself. As for Molescroft, it forms part of Beverley, and its residents ought to have a say on the Town Council; however, this cannot happen whilst there is a separate Molescroft Parish Council. To sum up, the current community governance arrangements hinder community cohesion and effective local government by artificially splitting the town of Beverley into three parts. The above recommendations · improve community engagement · bring communities closer together · create better local democracy · result in more efficient delivery of local services We are, therefore, asking East Riding of Yorkshire Council to undertake a community governance review to ensure that community governance arrangements reflect local identities and facilitate effective and convenient local government.

The public are continually being told that education is important but all these statements are undermined by political actions which result in so many children not having access to a qualified teacher at all times.

Shame on them for trying to cash in on the success of Park Runs. How can they compare jogging in a park run on a public footpath to providing a serviced football pitches for a Sunday league teams. Their community is doing something to keep fit & all they can see is ££££ signs. This is the equivalent of asking people having a kick about on a Sunday afternoon (jumpers for goalposts) to pay for the privilege. Park runs are great for all communities. both for health and community spirit.

It is important because MP's are supposed to: By virtue of the oath, or affirmation, of allegiance taken by all Members when they are elected to the House, Members have a duty to be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty the Queen, her heirs and successors, according to law. Members have a duty to uphold the law, including the general law against discrimination. Members have a general duty to act in the interests of the nation as a whole; and a special duty to their constituents. Members should act on all occasions in accordance with the public trust placed in them. They should always behave with probity and integrity, including in their use of public resources.

This is very important because she has her family over here. Imagine this was your mother or grandmother being sent home, how would you feel. She will not be a burden to the state as her family will be looking after her. At the age of 73 she should be allowed to live a dignified life.
