- 254 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 1,470 - 7 added in the past 24hrs)
We want the Government to launch a review to look at how the NHS responds to concerns parents express about care and treatment regarding their unborn and newborn babies. We believe the concerns of parents are often disregarded, and that this can lead to preventable deaths.

Fund a screening program for men to detect Prostate Cancer
- 604 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 1,406 - 6 added in the past 24hrs)
In the UK, about 1 in 8 men will get prostate cancer in their lifetime, and about 1 in 4 Black men will get prostate cancer in their lifetime. It affects a large proportion of men so we think the Government should provide funding for a national screening programme.

Do not strip GPs of the right to sign patients off sick
- 37 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 1,203 - None added in the past 24hrs)
We think that GPs must decide if we are fit to work or not. GPs are highly trained and have a duty to ensure that people's health comes first. Don't proceed with proposals to shift the role of GPs to sign patients off sick to “work and health professionals”.

- 992 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 999 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
I want the government to look into access to NHS neuropsychology services across England. I am based in Mid-Essex and I believe in comparison to other parts of the country the service appears to be less readily available.
Commission a Review of Practice-based Research Evidence of Yoga
- 902 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 910 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
Despite a growing body of evidence, we believe yoga is not sufficiently integrated into our healthcare system. A review of practice-based research evidence could help to develop evidence-based recommendations for the use of yoga in the NHS and other healthcare settings.
