We want the government to take the decisive five steps set out in the Movers and Shakers' "Parky Charter" and to fulfil the Health Secretary’s promises.
Exempt all social care providers from the employer NIC increase
- 40,315 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 42,025 - 53 added in the past 24hrs)
We believe the increase in employer National Insurance will put immense pressure on the social care sector, a sector already stretched by funding and staffing issues. We call on the government to review this decision and exempt all social care providers from these added costs.

- 12,575 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 27,324 - 112 added in the past 24hrs)
Fund training for all healthcare providers on spotting and dealing with Postural Tachycardia Syndrome (PoTS) as well as facilities where people with this condition can access the correct form of healthcare as I believe this is seriously lacking.
Do not stop transgender people from receiving care in mainstream hospital wards
- 14,569 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 15,897 - 12 added in the past 24hrs)
The previous government proposed changes to the NHS constitution which would mean transgender hospital patients in England may not be treated in female- and male-only wards. We believe that this segregation is discriminatory, dangerous, and violates the Equality Act 2010 and it must not go ahead.

- 14,567 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 15,141 - 10 added in the past 24hrs)
We believe that trans healthcare should be based on unbiased research that is peer reviewed. We think that the Cass review's findings have led to restrictive practices that are being directly felt by transgender children.

This could help those living with FND and strengthen the overall quality of our healthcare system.

- 3,684 Signatures

We want the Government to not give Ministers powers to restrict vape flavours in the Tobacco & Vapes Bill, as we believe it will undermine efforts to help smokers quit.
Legally enshrine the right of adults to physically transition using NHS services
- 5,886 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 11,981 - 47 added in the past 24hrs)
Introduce a law to legally protect the right of those aged 18 and over to transition using NHS services. This should specifically cover physical transition, including hormone treatment and surgery, as otherwise I believe it could potentially be interpreted as including conversion therapy.
Lift restrictions on prescribing puberty blockers to trans children.
- 10,464 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 11,979 - 11 added in the past 24hrs)
We want the Government to reverse the restrictions it has introduced relating to the prescription of puberty blockers to children. The Government introduced legislation banning them from being prescribed by the private sector and NHS primary care to under 18s not already taking them.
We are petitioning for a National Referendum on Assisted Dying
- 10,608 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 11,715 - 10 added in the past 24hrs)
We believe that the decision to introduce assisted dying legislation in the UK, is a matter of such fundamental import to the future of our nation and to us as citizens, that it must be decided as a nation, not by Members of Parliament alone.
