Increase funding for the DVLA to reduce delays to medical license decisions

Closed 71 signatures

What the petition asks

We believe the current process for DVLA decisions on medical driving licenses can cause significant delays and hardship for individuals unable to drive until a decision is made
We urge the Government to increase funding for the DVLA to shorten the time to process these decisions within an 8-week window and provide mobility allowances for those affected by delays.
