What the petition asks
People who are terminally ill should be exempt from restrictions on household mixing so that they can spend their final days with their loved ones.
My mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer in May 2020 and we couldn’t spend her last Christmas all together with my brother and Sister in law, Mum and Dad. The Government should allow terminally ill people to make their own informed decisions.
