Protection of Cancer services, during and after the Covid-19 PandemicDelays and pausing to diagnosis and treatment will mean some cancers will be inoperable or beyond curative treatment. Cancer patients should not wait for Covid-19 to pass to receive the treatment they need. With the escalation of testing of staff and patients hospitals and hubs can be made safe for patients and staff can be treated safely and post operative complications minimised.97 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jasmine Nottle

UK citizenship for foreign nationals who have worked at the NHSThis is important to recognise the sacrifice and contribution that foreign nationals have made whilst risking their lives in providing care for those who have unfortunately contacted the Covid-19 virus.Cabinet members of the UK government have praised foreign nationals for their contribution, it is time to put some substance to that praise and do something which will help those NHS staff who need help too.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Marjorie Rantoul

Individuals with over a billion pounds worth of assets - no bail outThe public built your fortune, the government recovers bail out money from the public. The public is hurting, doing their best to survive while the rich get richer at our expense. Is this government going to accede to their request or is humanity going to win over greed and so called power? We have been a great opportunity to stop polluting the earth and if measures can be put in place globally to fight a virus then we can save the planet59 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Judy Brooks

Increase Enterprise Investment Scheme tax relief to at least 50%As almost never before UK start-ups are under acute threat and not just as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic. Urgent help is required to support them. The proposed government Future Fund is unattractive to most start-ups and something simpler is required. Increasing the EIS tax relief could be done very easily and extremely rapidly - in days and not weeks.72 of 100 SignaturesCreated by John Simpson

Furlough Pay for Early Years StaffIt's important for the Early Years Sector to be valued alongside other industries! Early Years staff are often on a low wage but not putting us on the furlough scheme has put us under huge financial strain. How are we supposed to support ourselves?85 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Amanda and Tracy Way and Cole

Better Pay and Conditions for Care WorkersWe undervalue the importance of this sector and with the cutbacks over the last ten years their conditions have become worse and worse. With the demographic that we are all getting older and living much longer this sector is under massive stress. By increasing their wages and improving their conditions, this will attract more caring people.77 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ross Rennie

Permanent Free Bus Pass for Door to Door Care WorkersI have seen the valuable work Door to Door Care Workers do at first hand, caring for my bed bound Mum during the Coronavirus Pandemic. Their dedication and hard work, going from one house to the other to provide much needed care services by bus as none of them can afford a car on their meagre wages.17 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Martha Lutterodt

Uphold Disabled Rights of 'Reasonable Adjustments' during COVID-19Many vulnerable and disabled people are currently unable to access essential services such as 'Supermarkets, Health Facilities, Essential Retail Shops, Take Away Restaurants and Banks' without enduring 'temporary measures' which are potentially extremely detrimental to their physical health and mental wellbeing. Disabled people are being turned away from stores when they ask for 'Reasonable Adjustments' to be made to accommodate their disability; The Pregnant, Elderly and those with anxiety or sensory conditions are being forced to wait in long queues outside of a store and met by hostile staff who make no effort to ease wait times for this vulnerable group. Some stores will only make reasonable adjustments during 'unsociable hours' usually before the store opens, which are inconvenient for the majority of disabled or vulnerable people and wholly inappropriate and inaccessible. Whilst the most vulnerable people of society are doing their best to self-isolate; many vulnerable people are more often unable to get support, stay at home due to mental health, shop online or avoid shopping in person for themselves due to allergies or fear of cross contamination. Thank you for your signature, it really means the world to us. * Special thanks to all NHS Staff, Emergency Services and those working to help save lives by shopping for elderly and vulnerable people. Thank You10 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Luka Bird

Money for extra teachersChildren are our future. If they miss the basics in Primary school they will be unable to do well in further education and jobs. It is vital that they get extra help which is not possible in normal size classes. There are not enough special help teachers. Some children will need one on one help,others will cope in small groups but large classes cannot meet all the needs10 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Davina Ellis

No Airline bailouts without customer refundsAirlines at first offered cash refunds to customers whose flights have had to be cancelled due to the Coronavirus. But now they are going back on that promise and offering vouchers instead. There is obviously collusion as they have all announced this action together. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2020/apr/22/big-uk-airlines-and-travel-firms-denying-refunds-which-coronavirus https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-52370158 At the same time, they are all applying for enormous levels of public funding to prop up their businesses during the lockdown. Sign the petition to demand that the government withhold public subsidies of the airlines until they honour their legal obligations to customers.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Graeme Smith
