Rejected petition NHS to resume all non emergency treatments and to stop denying medical care.

hospitals were never so empty, yet millions of patients are turned away from vital, but non emergency treatment.
Hospital weren't overwhelmed at any point during pandemic and considering Nitingale hospital were hardly used it doesn't make sense to deny patients life saving or improving care.

More details

Government should be held accountable for every cancer patient, every organ donation recipient, and all non urgent medical treatment being denied to most patients in England.
I am urging Government to immediately resume normal operation, provide health care to all those in need and only restrict functions if and when hospitals cannot carry on.
I call on goverment to launch an inquiry into impact of lack of care and secondary deaths. And to also prevent ever escalating cost to NHS..
