This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament
Rejected petition Outlaw Any Form of Discrimination Based on Medical Grounds
To enshrine into law that no person, business, organisation or entity (whether public or private) can discriminate against any person(s) based on their medical status, test status or vaccination history. Additionally, the NHS must not deny treatment to a patient based on their Covid testing status.
More details
The Equality Act 2010 protects us against discrimination based on religion, sexuality, gender, age, disability, creed. Additionally, we must ensure that a person’s medical status remains completely free from any form of discrimination.
No person should face preferential or detrimental treatment based on their medical status (including vaccination status or test results e.g. Covid testing). This is to ensure we do not establish a two-tiered society of medical apartheid.
