This petition was submitted during the 2015–2017 Conservative government
Rejected petition Take action over the RAF personnel in NHS Waiting room debacle.
UK Armed Forces personnel in uniform must not be asked to leave waiting rooms just because their uniform may offend or upset people of other cultures or beliefs.
The government must take positive action to ensure that this cannot happen again; especially in public bodies.
More details
Recently a member of the Royal Air Force was moved from NHS waiting areas because their uniform may upset or offend other persons; persons not specified.
This is wholly wrong, and another example of ridiculous management within public bodies.
The government must be made to issue a statement to the effect that this is wholly unacceptable by anyone in any public body, and anyone guilty of this in future will be prosecuted for discrimination.
