What the petition asks
Implement a new policy that anyone admitted to hospital who has chosen not to be vaccinated against COVID will have to pay for all of their COVID treatment, instead of the costs being borne by the NHS.
The data shows that vaccination against COVID reduces the risk of hospitalisation. We therefore believe it is fair that people who choose not to be vaccinated against COVID be required to pay for any treatment they require for COVID.
We have to respect people's free will not to be vaccinated, it's their choice, but equally it's only fair that they are accountable for any COVID care costs, as the advice has been consistent and clear and there has been adequate time and opportunities to get vaccinated.
