This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament
Rejected petition Open the NHS up back up for doctors appointments and visitors to hospitals.
Covid restrictions are destroying NHS care,whether it be that you can't see your doctor or that you can't be with a loved one at hospital when they are at their most vulnerable.
More details
In every walk of life I can do what I like now,no social distancing and no mask,yet I can't go with my mum to A&E when she doesn't even know if she will see me again.Also the fact that people cannot see a doctor but can go to the football or nightclub and lose that patient care that could end up being critical for some patients care is not right.
