Rejected petition Make it the law to have a room in each mental health hospital for ASD patients
I want the Government to make it the law to have an inclusive room with dim lighting, sound proof, calm colours so people with ASD are able to stay in mental health hospitals with calm surroundings so they can relax and not have Autistic meltdowns
More details
Mental health hospitals need to be inclusive as mental health in ASD people is extremely common.
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
Decisions about the treatment of individual patients and facilities at particular hospitals is a matter for individual clinicians and local NHS Trusts, not the Government or House of Commons.
We could accept a petition calling on the Government to increase funding for NHS facilities for individuals with ASD, provided this did not prejudge decisions about clinical care.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
