Rejected petition More medical assistance to the people through this pandemic (Covid-19)
To provide more medical assistance to people who are sick, take seriously their symptoms, provide more medication as well as check ups. While in those 7 days a person self isolates and is very sick it can be lethal without any medical support.
More details
As it is a human right to have access to health care, this is should not be overlooked or neglected by the Government along with the NHS. Also the continuation of testing for Covid-19 should be allowed as it can decrease the spread of the virus, in comparison to the alternative approach that is being taken now of not doing so.
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
The medical treatment of patients in the UK is a clinical matter for the NHS and the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), not the UK Government.
