All asthmatics and people with lung conditions should be on shielded list

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Make all asthmatics and anyone with lung conditions allowed to go on shielding list

Because I feel I should be on it as my asthma isn't good or my lungs . Many out there are like this and want to be shielded as this disease attacks the lungs and respiratory system. We are all vulnerable with asthma.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

The list of those considered to be extremely vulnerable is a clinical decision for the NHS, not the UK Government or Parliament.
