Allow family visitors to see hospital patients post-pandemic

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

We want the Government to lift all visitor restrictions within the nhs.
If you are removing all exemptions across the uk. This should also be relaxed and allowed. Patients are worse for not seeing family. Who can help feed them, provide moral support and assist in their mental health and road to recovery.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. There are no national limits on hospital visiting, any restrictions are a matter for individual hospital trusts.
