Closed petition Fund specialist hospitals for care of chronically ill during covid-19

Closed on 9 December 2020

Despite guidelines, cardiac, cancer and other patients with chronic illness are being denied treatment and monitoring. This appears to be due not to infection risk but resource. Provide dedicated resource in specialist hospitals for these patients so their care continues during the current crisis.

Patient lives could be at risk. Current government guidance appears not to be being implemented in the same way by different local authorities. Vital monitoring and treatments have been cancelled. The issue requires a direct intervention from government to protect the wellbeing of chronically ill NHS patients.
