Rejected petition NHS to Prioritise HGV drivers who diagnose with sleep apnoea

I want the government order NHS and DVLA to give priority for driver's who suffer from sleep apnoea

More details

HGV driver's job is dangerous and DVLA revoked licence. So we need a system to allow us to get treatment sooner than expected.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

This is very much a clinical/operational decision - and there already exists advice within the NHS and DVLA about how to prioritise medical care for people with OSAS.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
