put every person who has a respiratory condition on the vulnerable list
people with a respiratory condition are more vulnerable to contracting covid 19 but not all are on the vulnerable list, we wish parliament to place every person who has more than one inhaler on the vulnerable list so they may get priority because of there condition
covid 19 attacks the airways and lungs this makes people with asthma and respiratory conditions very vulnerable however not all are included in the vulnerable list and many are taking chances with there lives going to do essential shopping, we wish the government to include these on the list so they may get priority bookings at supermarkets, this will save many lives.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The decision about who is included in the shielded patients list is a medical decision for the NHS, not the UK Government or Parliament.
You can find out more about the list and how it is maintained here: digital.nhs.uk/coronavirus/shielded-patient-list
People with severe asthma are already on the shielded patient list. You can find out more here: www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/advice-for-people-at-high-risk/
People should speak to their GP or care team if they have not been told that they are on the shielded patient list and they think that they should be.
