Make UK government/assemblies liable for adverse health policy outcomes.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

All policy contributors, within UK governmental bodies, should be made liable for foreseeable, life changing, adverse outcomes, by the health policies they enact.
Penalties should not exclude; removal from office, barring from any political office for specified periods, nor criminal prosecution.
The COVID pandemic response, in 2021, has shown that governmental bodies – the UK government, the Scottish & Welsh assemblies, have all overlooked real world data to continue health policies that massively impinge on the freedoms of UK citizens. The move from the number of hospitalisations and deaths, to COVID cases, which, for some, did not express itself in symptoms was clearly an overreach, resulting in suicides, bankruptcies, & the loss of bodily autonomy, minimally. This shouldn't happen.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you want changes to accountability for people involved in the policy formation process, but it's not clear how your proposals would work in practice.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
