Petition Consent of next of kin or patient for the administering of end of life drugs

“There was disregard for Human Life” the harrowing words of Bishop Jones.

656 elderly died at Gosport War Memorial Hospital through opiate abuse. These drugs ended life without justification or logic. The patient's lives were shortened by the very people they trusted to care for them.

A policy is needed to specify that there is no administering of doses of drugs that could end life without the signature of a patient or relative.

This law will apply to everyone. No practitioner should administer these drugs without the patient or their relative's knowledge. Conversations do not always happen.

It’s only the people who can make that change so please sign the petition and let your voice be heard, we can do this…Thank you
