We live in a democracy where those elected into power have to accept the rite to peacefully protest changes that affect us and our children's future

Please can you join me in putting pressure on the bank? This is vital for those of us who cannot do online banking. It can also be used to explain to our children all about the banking industry and how vital it is.

Myself and many other local people have had to use the ambulance service where, prior to the closure of Totnes Hospital MIU, we would have gone there. Totnes Hospital urgently needs the MIU to be reopened. We've not had it for over 18 months now and it's causing huge problems, especially for those without access to transport.

The situation in our village Surgery REDBOURN Health Centre has become a massive problem since amalgamating with other surgeries in St Albans - The Lodge Surgery. The outcome has been appalling, with less than average service. There are waiting times of up to 18 days for a telephone appointment and people are unable to speak to their regular GP who knows their health history.

Having to pay VAT on medicines for your sick animal and friend, is outrageous. There are many other products that do not attract VAT because they are necessities, e.g. food and female sanitary products, and rightly so. But medicines for your sick pet is also a necessity, and why I believe this additional levy on pet owners should be removed.

We are all being expected to pay more national insurance to cover the unprecedented costs of the pandemic, while tech giants such as Amazon reap huge financial gains as a result of that same pandemic and yet pay almost no tax at all.

We need to campaign for change because not all first time buyers require a small property.

Many people are left to suffer in silence or tire of having to work to get the help they need to the point where they relent and stop asking for support this in turn could ultimately lead to further problems. Mental health problems are at an all time high as are suicide rates, so many lives which could be saved with the correct support.

I feel the elderly are forever being penalised, eg: having to pay for a TV licence now, bus pass not allowed until your pension age which keeps rising, Banks, post offices closing in local communities, not all elderly have computers, mobile phones for online services, not all can afford such devices.

A lot of Health Care Professions are short of staff. They require a degree level of education, and all the professions are greatly enhanced by having a mix of school leavers and mature students undertaking the training. Since 2017/18, mature students have been encouraged to apply, by offering those that already have a degree, a 2nd student loan. I emphasise this is a loan, involving the student taking on a debt of £27,750 over the 3 year course. Since January 2020 there has been further encouragement to attract people into the Health Care Professions, including those undertaking their 1st degree and those undertaking their 2nd degree. This encouragement is in the form of a non-repayable ‘Learning Support Fund (LSF)’ to the tune of £5,000 p/a. Both the 2nd student loan and the LSF are available to those undertaking training in Nursing, Midwifery and many of the Allied Health Professions (AHP’s), including Radiography, Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy, Dietetics, Podiatry and Speech and Language therapists. The one glaring omission are the Paramedics in England. The group that during the height of the Pandemic has been described by UCAS as the ‘Firefighters of Healthcare’. To be clear, a 1st degree application onto a Paramedical Science degree is entitled to both a student loan and the LSF. But unlike Nursing, Midwifery and most AHP’s, a 2nd degree application to study Paramedical Science is not entitled to either a 2nd student loan or the support of the LSF. In other words, if a mature student with a previous degree wishes to undertake training to become a Paramedic, they have to fund everything themselves. Therefore, this petition is not asking for special treatment, it is simply asking for Parity with those professions already mentioned. From this September 2021 the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) have made it mandatory that all new Paramedics have to have a BSc qualification. This is a Profession that we all rely on, it is a Profession that has staff shortages. It does not pay huge salaries and relies on attracting the right calibre of person that genuinely cares and wants to make a difference. The type of person that this petition concerns has been in the workplace, has built up some life skills and experiences and has decided that they want to contribute to society. They should be encouraged, not dissuaded by the huge financial burden. For the future well being of both the service and society, please sign this petition and please share this petition.

If they stop the triple lock what pensioners receive i pension is not enough if we got a reasonable pension the people who claim pension credit would not have to be means tested all we want to do is live not exist which is what we do because when you have paid all the bills there is only a pitance left to buy food

It's important to keep all children safe at all times and having dogs run around the playground isn't really acceptable for safety reasons and the fact that not everyone is into dogs.. Eg my special needs child.
