NHS to resume all non emergency treatments and to stop denying medical care.

Rejected 17 signatures

What the petition asks

hospitals were never so empty, yet millions of patients are turned away from vital, but non emergency treatment.
Hospital weren't overwhelmed at any point during pandemic and considering Nitingale hospital were hardly used it doesn't make sense to deny patients life saving or improving care.

Government should be held accountable for every cancer patient, every organ donation recipient, and all non urgent medical treatment being denied to most patients in England.
I am urging Government to immediately resume normal operation, provide health care to all those in need and only restrict functions if and when hospitals cannot carry on.
I call on goverment to launch an inquiry into impact of lack of care and secondary deaths. And to also prevent ever escalating cost to NHS..

Why it was rejected

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

Decisions about the provision of medical treatment during the current outbreak is a matter for NHS England and individual NHS trusts, and not the Government or Parliament.
