Stop the STP mass cuts to our local NHS and social care servicesThe regional Sustainability and Transformation Plan (STP) is a largely hidden, high-level plan to hurriedly bring about the integration of health and social care, with a central role given to private providers. It is motivated more by hope than any real understanding of need and with no consultation with professionals and the public. - From the extreme level of “savings” outlined in both the STP and the part of the plan focused on mid-Sussex & East Surrey it is clear that the key objective is to reduce costs regardless of consequence. - In illustration of this, the amount our region (STP footprint 33) is being asked to save by 2020/21 is a staggering £653 million. - “Savings” already specified in the STP report include £112m on social care - £47.4m to be saved by encouraging GPs not to refer people to hospital - These plans nationally will put the final nail in the coffin of a comprehensive NHS and locally will have an irrevocably damaging impact on the health of city residents. - Local authorities round England are now protesting about STP and refusing to sign up. One local authority has initiated legal action. As citizens of Brighton & Hove we ask that the HOSC, with its role of overseeing and scrutinising our local health services, act urgently. We urge you as our elected representatives to: - Pass a motion of opposition to STP - Set up a review panel to call witnesses to account for all aspects of the STP and the Place-based Delivery Plan so an informed decision can be made by the whole council. - Initiate a full public consultation on the final detailed plan before any decisions are made to ratify it 1. https://www.coastalwestsussexccg.nhs.uk/building-first-class-health-and-care-system-for-sussex-and-east-surrey 2.

Presumed Consent Donor Law for EnglandFrom NHS information, despite some gains in organ transplant consent, the UK still has one of the lowest rates of consent (authorisation in Scotland) in Europe. A Presumed Consent Law has been brought in in Wales and resulted in more transplants. A Presumed Consent Law would still allow people to choose not to have their organs used, but it would increase the number of organs available for doctors to save more lives. In bringing in a Presumed Consent Law to England we would actually be protecting ourselves and our loved ones in the future, should a transplant ever be needed. It would also bring to the forefront the importance of organ donation to the nation as a whole and hopefully make the situation easier on the families of the deceased.According to NHS Blood and Transplant, family refusal is the biggest obstacle to donation. However, many families would gain from knowing that their own loss of a loved one has benefited others by giving those on the donor list and their families an improved or longer life. ref:https://www.organdonation.nhs.uk/news-and-campaigns/news/highest-number-of-organ-transplants-ever-across-uk-but-many-families-still-say-no-to-donation/2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by David H

New service provider for the 90 bus routeHundreds of commuters use this bus service from Northolt and are fed up with the current service provider Metroline because the quality of service has been poor for a number of years. Single deckers have been used at busy times (when they are only meant to be using double Deckers), drivers driving erratically, using old buses and buses not coming for at least 20mins most of the time. As well as this buses have been terminating at Yeading lane at busy periods such as in the mornings and in the afternoon rush hour. Many complaints have been made to Metroline and tfl, but there have been no further improvements. Abellio (London & Surrey) currently runs the E9 bus route between Ealing Broadway and Yeading Barnhill Estate from which they have taken over from Metroline, since doing so I feel that the service has dramatically improved, which is why I feel they would be the best company to take over the route. In addition to this Abellio (London & Surrey) already has a garage in Hayes, which the bus route 90 passes through. The reason I am asking for new buses is due to the fact the the old buses currently used are causing a nuisance especially on Kingshill Avenue as the old buses are very loud and they cause vibrations on the road which causes cracks to appear in houses (including mine).14 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Owen Sohoraye

Make Employee Representation on Company Boards LawDear Theresa May, Please can you help UK industry and their Employees to have greater Success, Collaboration, Flexibility, Security and Speed of Business Decisions by ensuring we have Full Employee Representation in the Boardroom. Success • Throughout Europe the most successful companies have Employee Representation directly engaging with the company by participating in board meetings. • Company success is aided not hindered by Employee Representation. Collaboration • Employee board Representation leads to collaboration and avoids industrial disputes. • It is truly a Win-Win situation. • Collaboration between the board and the employees removes many elements of the current "them and us" attitude of UK companies that often leads to outcomes that neither the company nor employees want. Flexibility • Employee board representatives are very often more creative and flexible with their demands. Knowing the challenges facing a company they will often ask for improved investment or help develop restructuring proposals instead of a pay rise knowing that this will help the company. • Currently unions predominantly campaign for increased salaries as they have no insights to the company pressures and direction. Security • In the light of Brexit it is now more important than ever that Employee board representatives are able to work with management to ensure operations are not moved off-shore without a meaningful set of discussions.. • Flexible Employee Responses can be worked on to enhance job security. Speed of Business Decisions • Employee board representatives participating in board meeting discussions are able to formulate responses ahead of a hard company decisions. This means that consultation occurs before a hard decision is publicly declared and prevents company back tracking and face saving that wastes time and effort.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Matthew Hopcraft
