Stop victimising people who urgently need operations and allow operations now.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Open hospital doors to those who are desperate for operations.

People who need urgent surgery are in horrendous pain, in danger of becoming addicted to painkillers, living very limited lives and many have mental health issues because this seems to be going on indefinitely.

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.

Since you started your petition, the NHS has set out plans to safely bring back routine operations: https://www.england.nhs.uk/2020/05/nhs-roadmap/
