Our NHS is being starved of funding which in turn put pressure on NHS to close A&E plus Maternity Services in Small to Medium Towns. Essential Services are also being starved of cash so Fire Brigades, Mental Health, Police Ambulance service Social Services and the list goes on. HS2 in EVERY Poll since 2010 has shown the majority of the UK does NOT WANT HS2. This is backed up by virtually ALL Academic Organisations, Government Committees as well as those people it is supposed to serve who say loudly they do not want HS2 as it is a waste of money and there is no need. The Government has NOT shown the true facts of HS2 for it knows that if it does then HS2 will be seen for the Vanity Project that it is with no valid reason to be built. Lets use what scant resources we have on things that will help the whole of the UK not just the rich.

Devon CCG is recommending the loss of 71 out of 143 community beds in eastern Devon. This follows 25 bed losses last year, including Axminster, Ottery St Mary, Crediton and Budleigh Salterton. Devon's 'Your Future Care' consultation is flawed. We do not believe that community beds should be closed at all. • East Devon has an above average population of elderly people • Many people in community hospital beds cannot be cared for at home because they are too unwell, even with enhanced care, or they have dementia or require end of life care • A 2015 audit identified over 600 people being cared for in a hospital bed who did not need to be there, but who lacked home support to enable them to return home • These patients will mostly be elderly and frail with complex needs, taking longer to recuperate from illness, operations and acute hospitals. It is a disaster in the making and is a money saving exercise at the expense of the patients’ health outcome. • Acute hospitals are increasingly unable to discharge patients because of the lack of available community services. Community services are already overstretched with an acute lack of appropriate carers for people in their own homes and difficulties with recruitment. There is no evidence that shifting from bed-based to community care works in a rural area like East Devon with a high incidence of elderly people with complex needs. These models of care need to be agreed and will take time to test and establish. The CCG will tell you that the new model of care with patients using their own beds has worked well in North Devon after removal of beds in Torrington, Ilfracombe and Bideford. IT DOES NOT AND EVIDENCE TO THIS EFFECT IS BEING IGNORED. Chronic underfunding by government of health and social care in Devon has led to the crisis we face today. Only the government can change this. In the past five years, council budgets for social care have fallen behind demand by £5 billion nationally, and 150,000 fewer people receive at-home help than five years ago. We must challenge the validity of this process: Honiton and Okehampton Community Hospital beds will be closed without consultation; a 'status quo' option must be considered; full financial and assessment information should be shared. The public need a full, transparent and meaningful consultation, rather than the CCG paying lip service to the process under government pressure. These proposed cuts to community hospital beds is the first stage in a relentless sequence of service reductions which will be outlined in the Sustainability and Transformation Plan to be published in November. Information released under the Freedom of Information Act indicates that the Success Regime in NEW Devon received £1.4m in 2015-16, and a further £6m in 2016-17. This £7.4m has been spent on management consultants and legal advice. Potential front line funding is being wasted on these re-organisations This massive change needs transparency; whole system changes and, above all, investment from central government. Closing more community hospital beds with no proven plan for care in place is high risk. The proposals as they stand, without adequate funding for alternative care, may save money, but they will not improve patient care and may compromise patient safety.

In view of the UN vote to ban nuclear weapons i feel it is only right that parliment has another chance to debate the need for a new nuclear weapons system.

It is important that justice is done. Just as in the Hillsborough Enquiry

The miners and their relatives have never had a full and fair explanation as to what went so wrong with the policing, and subsequently, on the day and the days after the events at the plant.

There is a lack of faith in the South Yorkshire Police but there also seems to be a cover up with cabinet papers not being released. The bitterness of this dispute still hangs over the communities involved

Its important that the Miners at the time , can have all Questions or concerns dealt with, and answers are given.

Pensioners in Lauriston Park rely on the bus going down these roads. The extra 800 yards walking makes a real difference to those elderly residents. Also we are not happy at the lack of consultation that has been carried out on this.

Marajuana is a drug that doesn't do harm to your health. The benefits are endless and it should be legalised. People should be able to make their own choice about smoking marajuana. Alcohol is legal yet, health issues, accidents and crimes more specifically happen due to alcohol. With any drug people abuse it, it doesn't even have to be a drug. Food is addictive, so is a cigarette, they can lead to health issues. I'm not suggesting that everyone abuses drugs or that all drugs are okay, I'm informing you that cannabis is not a bad drug. Laws should be put into place with the legalisation of marajuana just like the law in place for drinking alcohol. There are many benefits to marajuana, be it the health benefits or the the physical and emotional benefits. Medical marajuana should be legal in UK and prescribed with the consent of a parent or guardian for people under the age of 18. Marajuana is proven by many studies to treat cancer, seizures, mental health illnesses like anorexia and depression and even aches or pains. It is can benefit many people's lives for the better, so why are people denied this?

Politics and religion are not compatible in the running of a country where practicality and pragmatism are much in need. Religious belief is an irrational but purely personnal matter and not one to excuse the brutal supression of people who may hold an alternative view. This sort of behaviour is nothing but a return to the days of the 'Inquisition' and has no place in the 21st century.

This is a very dangerous practice for blind pavement users, parents with prams and disabled persons. It also hampers drivers backing out from driveways as their vision is restricted.
