I, and many others are disheartened by the appalling healthcare standards in Scottish prisons, in particular, private prisons. Prisoners are there to be punished, not tortured and deprived of basic healthcare needs. Poor reaction time to prisoners pressing call buttons requiring urgent medical assistance. Prisoners left in excess of two months without their regular medication, and in excess of four weeks to be seen. Epilepsy sufferers deprived of their medication and left having seizures in their cell untreated by medical staff. The care commission have refused to investigate, or conduct a review. This petition is important to highlight the faults in prison healthcare and how it can cause deterioration to a prisoners wellbeing, this not only abuses their right to healthcare but abuses human rights.

The British public has gracefully fought through mud, snow, rain, even blood at some points to get to your store and get the items we need.. whether it be a chip mug or a pair of Harry Potter Pyjamas. Has PRIMARK ever thought of the disabled or socially awkward that can't get out of their houses to feast their eyes on the delights like PRIMARK brings to their stores but not to The World Wide Web.

Everyone loves gymbox, so why not keep it open longer and increase the love...and the sweat! :)

These vehicles will only have one driver in the front vehicle and will be over 60 metres long. Motor organisations have warned against which will increase congestion and cause extra hazards for drivers. Safety on our already dangerous roads. Our roads are very different to US roads

Because household's are being punished by having reduced refuse collections , expected to increase recycling when a vast amount of these materials cannot currently be recycled. Therefore creating rubbish pollution, fly tipping, vermin and health and safety issues within neighbourhoods.

Many people are close to there step parents and would like to make them there legal parent's but are over age of 18 and this does not happen in UK , I believe that anyone should make a decision when they are older to make that choice in life. Some people call there step parents mum/dad but they don't feel like they are your parent . I stand today facing this I have been serving for many years for my step father to adopt me but I am over age of 18 and do not have funds to live and pay for this to happen abroad. I believe we should make our own desisions in life and hope many others do too

It is unfair that travel companies are able to penalise parent of school age children by hiking the prices during the school holiday period. It is unacceptable to take children out of school and now we are threatened with court action. Our government need to be tightly governing these companies and stop letting them raise the prices so high, therefore affording more parents a chance to take their families away during peak times.

It represents the strength of Manchester and has been created by a Manchester artist

It is important for our children to learn to share and play with other children without gangs terrorising them. Also been suspicious adults taking photos of children but by the time police arrive 8hrs later are gone our children deserve to be safe.

>> How does current policy discriminate against women in relationships with bisexual men? The current guidelines state the following: You must not give blood or platelets for at least 12 months after sex (even if you used a condom or other protective) with... --If you are a man who, in the last 12 months has had oral or anal sex with another man (even if you used a condom or other protective). --(If you are a woman) a man who has ever had oral or anal sex with another man, even if they used a condom or other protective. This means that if a bisexual man has sexual encounters with another man and then enters into a relationship with a woman, within 12 months he can then give blood again. If a woman enters into a sexually active relationship with a bisexual man [A], she can not give blood for the duration of the relationship and for the 12 months after, regardless of the length of time between the male partners last same sex encounter. This will soon be changing to 3 months but still prevents women from donating for the duration of the relationship. This causes situations where a male, who has engaged in "risky behaviour"[B], may be able to give blood long before the woman, who has not, can. This is regardless of whether safe methods are used and whether the woman has undergone screenings for STIs/HIV and becomes a form of discrimination based on gender. >> What needs to change? It is critical that the blood donation process is made as safe and incident free as possible. While many safeguards are controversial, this petition sets out to remove the unnecessary bias directly affecting women in long term relationships with bisexual men. The demand of this petition is simple: That if men are allowed to give blood 12 months after their last sexual encounter with a man, that the same time frame is provided to the subsequent female partners of the man in question. For this to happen, I would ask that: - Current guidelines are reviewed for their consistency towards women - That clear, fair guidelines are communicated to all front line staff to prevent otherwise eligible donors from being turned away >> Why is blood donation important? The NHS requires 6000 volunteers to give blood every day. [1] Blood is used in hospitals to treat conditions such as anaemia and other blood conditions and it is also used during life saving surgery and to treat blood loss after birth [2]. Occasionally blood is also used by scientists to better understand certain conditions. >> My story Despite sympathies from the Nurse, who could fully see my point, I was turned away from the Birmingham City Centre donation clinic on these grounds on the 23 August 2018. I was informed that if my partner wanted to give blood and undergo screening that I would be able to at the same time. This would be fine if every one was able to/desired to give blood and everyone could access the same clinics as their partner but that simply isn't the case for everyone. It is also an additional step that I have to go through that my partner does not for no reason other than my gender. >>Definitions and references [A] I have used the term bisexual male for simplicity but it should be noted that this should refer to the broad spectrum of sexualities and genders for which the same blood donation restrictions apply [B] The term "risky behaviour" is based on NHS terminology and in no way reflects my views on the issues around gay men and blood donation [1] Source: https://www.blood.co.uk/why-give-blood/the-need-for-blood/ [2] Source: https://www.blood.co.uk/why-give-blood/how-blood-is-used/

The internet is so slow and drops out non-stop

19 million GBP was donated via the Red Cross charity from the public for the victims of the Grenfell fire. A very small amount has apparently been offered to the victims and the rest of the millions is unaccounted for. The money was donated by the public for the victims and collected by Red Cross charity on their behalf. Where is the rest? We want to know that the red cross have not profited from the horrific fire and call for the red cross charity to be held fully accountable to the general public and every member of the public who made a donation to the fire victims as well as the fire victims themselves.
