Rejected petition Allow at least one person to visit a sick relative in Hospital
Despite the Pandemic it is perfectly possible for family members to visit the sick in hospital
It is cruel that those who are ill to be denied this basic human right
Humans need contact when I’ll from a loved one at least and this is currently being denied
More details
People who are ill are being subject to mental cruelty by not being allowed a visitor
Families are likewise in great distress as a result
By focussing so much on Covid the NHS is being destroyed for the millions of people who need its support
This must be rectified quickly
