For someone who is suffering with mental health since I was a young teen to then be diagnosed at 18 it’s difficult and a struggle to even go anywhere never mind go to the doctors to get a sick note. I wish that the government would take mental health more serious.
caitlin supported: Prevent Rishi Sunak from Ending GP-Issued 'Sick Notes'I work within the NHS and the stress and work load we all go through sometimes can be too much and we all rely on fit notes from time to time as the job is so demanding and emotionally hard I believe this is a terrible idea, I myself struggle with depression although I've only been signed off once with depression, I couldn't bare to think about the lengths people may go if this comes into force.
Jess supported: Prevent Rishi Sunak from Ending GP-Issued 'Sick Notes'My health has been very tough for 19 years and without sick notes especially when I first got unwell life would have been very difficult. Getting letters from specialists is near impossible and GP letters are vital in supporting patients especially as many have a closer relationship with there patients. Please do not end sick notes from GPs
Bernadette supported: Prevent Rishi Sunak from Ending GP-Issued 'Sick Notes'When I was disabled in a car crash, Jan 18th 2013 and needed the time off from work gaining GP sick notes gave me that official statement to be able to have the time off, without being bullied into returning to work too soon. It enabled me to gain benefits instead of being forced to work when I was not well enough.
Dee supported: Prevent Rishi Sunak from Ending GP-Issued 'Sick Notes'If my wonderful GP didn't sign me a sick note when my mental health dips,I would be dead;especially during covid
Caroline supported: Prevent Rishi Sunak from Ending GP-Issued 'Sick Notes'Suffering from hypothyroidism, depression and anxiety is one symptom of many, can be hard but to throw in the mix PTSD and anxiety disorder is challenging at the best of times, at the worst points of depression, PTSD and anxiety, those days are extremely hard to deal with and cope. Stripping sick/fit notes from those who truly need it will only make those with mental health issues a whole lot worse..
Natashya supported: Prevent Rishi Sunak from Ending GP-Issued 'Sick Notes'My mother is a cancer survivor and everyday, I fear it will come back and take her from me. We will all die, but we hope to do so with dignity. Knowing everything that could have been does, has been, and that our family can move on. To those doctors, shame on you. Cancer is a parasite, it has no bias; why should you? I have an invisible disability. Sometimes things don't show up on tests. It doesn't mean you should stop looking. When someone tells you something is wrong, something is wrong! You need to trust your patient, and that they know their own body better than you do. And to the family, I am sorry. I'm sorry that this happened, I'm sorry about what people have no doubt been saying and I'm sorry they didn't try to help.
Rose supported: Isla's Law: End Dangerous Delays in Paediatric CareCancer doesn’t recognise age it doesn’t care but the NHS should care. Even if the NHS isn’t sure they should test for cancer. I am so sorry for your loss. I have also suffered loss due to the NHS negligence
Gill supported: Isla's Law: End Dangerous Delays in Paediatric CareSuch a young life lost leaving behind a heartbtoken family.
