Petition Review NHS policy on masks, safe air & ventilation to protect vulnerable
Vulnerable people — those with cancer, immune compromise, or chronic illness — should feel safe in NHS settings, not fearful. We’re calling for a 'do no harm' standard: an automatic right to treatment by FFP2/3 masked staff, safe air and ventilation in every setting and stronger infection control.
More details
The NHS was founded on the duty to 'do no harm'. That means protecting patients from preventable illness, not asking them to plead for it. We ask the Government and NHS England to adopt a “do no harm” infection-prevention standard by: - Guaranteeing an automatic right for clinically vulnerable patients to be treated by staff wearing high-filtration masks (such as FFP2/3). - Maintaining safe air quality and effective ventilation across all health-care settings. -Reinstate masking in viral surges
