Rejected petition Allow paramedics and emergency workers of the NHS to be able to skip queues.

This act would allow paramedics and all other emergency services to skip long waiting times, and be served as a priority in restaurants.

As paramedics are obligated to 'drop everything and run', this would reduce the possibility of workers missing out on food and drink due to long waiting times.

More details

Especially in the current heat of the British summer, for emergency workers to be unable to purchase food or drinks on account of 'poor timing', is a ludicrous notion.

Please sign this petition, and share to create more understanding of why this act should be considered.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

At the moment, this would be a decision for individual businesses, not the UK Government or Parliament.

If you'd like Parliament to make this a legal requirement, you could start a new petition asking for that.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
