What the petition asks
Allow Hospital visits
Patients are being nursed behind closed doors and are unable to obtain the support they need from family and friends. They are being deprived of the simplest every day items. A nearly blind 72 year old diabetic asked for a brown bread sandwitch he was eventually given biscuits that he could not open due to a hand operation. Staff have become negligent and sloppy behind closed doors. Its time to open the doors. Goverment, Parliament should look at this with urgency. Covid is no longer an excuse.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
Visitng policies for individual hospitals are a matter for NHS England and individual NHS trusts, not the Government or Parliament. You should contact your local hospital to find out what their visiting policy is.
