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”.

(Estimated Final Signatures: 1,991 - 2 added in the past 24hrs)
The current age of breast cancer screening for women is 50-70 year olds however research suggests there has been a rise in breast cancer in younger ages. I think it would be great if we offered screening to 28-70 year olds, to catch this disease at a much earlier stage.

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.
