We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Closed petition Fund improved diagnosis in health care settings
We believe many hospitals are failing to provide a high enough standard of care to their patients when diagnosing them. Some patients are diagnosed too late or are mis-diagnosed and we believe that hospitals and care settings would be able to limit these errors with more funding and resources.
More details
My mum had a fall in 2020 and was taken to hospital. Just 16 days later we were told they had found 3 brain lesions which were cancerous, with a life expectancy of weeks to a short few months, and placed in a care home. November 2022 an MRI scan showed she had brain damage in both frontal lobes and not cancer. Sadly mum passed away 3 days later. 2 years of steroids she shouldn’t have been on caused muscle weakness and she became bed bound, causing pressure on her heart until it stopped.
