This petition was submitted during the 2017 to 2019 Parliament
Rejected petition Allow paramedics and emergency workers of the NHS to be able to skip queues.
Rejected on
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.
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.
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.
