To re-classify Dementia as a terminal illness
Dementia results in death but is not classified as a terminal illness. Cancer, Stroke or Heart Attack are all classed as a terminal illness, but people can, and do, recover. Dementia sufferers do not. We want to change this so that the correct level of care can be provided more readily.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can't accept your petition because we aren't sure what action you would like the UK Government or Parliament to take.
We understand that you're concerned about care for people with dementia, but we're not sure what you mean by "the correct level of care" and exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, you could start a petition calling for new minimum standards for dementia care in the NHS and social care settings.
