• NHS to prioritise carer needs
    Dear Steve, I am a carer for my father who has terminal lymphoma. At every touch point within the NHS the objective of avoiding hospital admissions when possible is highlighted. I am also keen to avoid this as on the last two admissions to our local hospital Arrowe Park, Wirral, he came out in a worse condition than when he came in - a story for another time. With this in mind I was highly disappointed with the treatment I received whilst trying to get an out of hours prescription for migraine medication I desperately needed. This medication would have cured my migraine within an hour. I used NHS 111 - the front line staff were excellent, as were the clinicians. However the GP service was unacceptable. The first contact prescribed the wrong drugs and the second was unable to handle the fact that I was raising my voice due to extreme pain, sleep deprivation and frustration. When she accused me of harassment I had to hang up to protect myself from exploding. I deal with frustrated people on regularly as a mental health advocate. I have the skill set to manage their behaviour. This woman did not in any way shape or form. Finally the last GP I spoke to revealed that the first "doctor" i spoke to was actually a nurse and that as a nurse he did not count her as one of his colleagues!!! Out dated beyond belief. As it was I had a migraine from 11pm Friday until 6pm Sunday. My symptoms are very severe. I can't move out of a dark room. I can't keep fluids or food down and I am at high risk of not being able to keep down the medication to manage my own illness, bipolar disorder. If this happened my own risk of hospital admission is very high. If the first doctor had prescribed the correct drugs as discussed I would have been fine by Saturday 10am not Sunday evening. This failure cost me £250 in additional care and meant I lost valuable "me" time. It would have been avoided if my needs had been prioritised in allocation of GP out of hours time. Each 111 staff member and clinician understood that because I was ill, the person I was caring for was vulnerable and at risk of hospital admission. Luckily I have the means to employ extra support. Many carers do not have this luxury. If you could raise this issue as a matter of urgency I would be extremely grateful. Many thanks Briony Davies

  • The Prime Minister MUST attend COP27 UN Climate Summit
    We have all seen the effects of increasing temperatures here in the UK. Our weather is more volatile, as evidenced by the increasing number of floods, droughts, storms and heatwaves we are suffering. This is replicated all over the world and people are dying from the inaction, when there is overwhelming evidence of the man-made nature of the threat. We can mitigate it and adapt to the consequences, but we must act now. We need our Prime Minister to lead the UK negotiating team at COP27 and ensure the UK meets the commitments it made in The Paris Agreement.

  • King Charles Must Attend COP27
    The UK needs representation at COP27, it is a deeply important meeting of world leaders and representatives. The UK has shocked countries worldwide with news of its decision not to attend and rightly so, our planet is in grave danger due to climate change, all countries need to take urgent action to help save all species and mother earth. What is more important to us than caring for our existence and the existence of our planet? There is no higher priority surely. King Charles cares deeply about the environment and the threats we face, he is our best representative and must attend. Liz Truss should never have advised him not to attend, she did not represent the opinion of British citizens in doing so, we urgently need King Charles to hear our plea!

  • Stop the government revoking the EU Habitat Laws currently in British legislation
    These laws have been vital to protecting our wildlife for the last 30 years. The Habitats Regulations ensure that nature is considered in planning decisions where it would be all to easy to and convenient to ignore it. Without the legal force of the Habitats Regulations there is a serious risk of long-term deterioration and lost of important habitats and species.

  • Suella Braverman - a danger to UK security
    For too long now this Conservative party has been a party of rule-makers who are rule-breakers. This Home Secretary loves quoting the law - changing it to fit the Tory narrative, where required - to justify her proclamations on a range of controversial bills: freedom to protest - she wants to water down significantly our right to freedom to protest, stifling our freedom of speech, Rwanda-madness, et al
