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 Make it a Criminal Offence to not call 999 or seek help when someone needs help

If a Compos Mentis person does not seek help or call 999 when a person is dying or having a Medical Emergency in their company this should be a Criminal Offence. We believe this is Morally and Ethically wrong and it should be made Criminally Wrong.

More details

This petition is not calling for anyone to be required to intervene physically or medically to save someone's life, but simply phone the emergency services or if that's not possible seek for help from someone else who can.

About petition data

The data shows the number of people who have signed the petition by country as well as in the constituency of each Member of Parliament. This data is available for all petitions on the site. It is not a list of people who have signed the petition. The only name that is shared on the site is that of the petition creator.

We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
