A right to life. Don't suspend life dependant treatments (in favour of covid)

Petition Details

We must remember that both Covid & non-Covid patients are equally as important. Thousands of non-Covid life saving procedures have been cancelled due to resources being redirected to treating Coronavirus. Cancellations include Transplants & Cancer treatments. This is causing many avoidable deaths.

Additional Information

Firstly, I am one of those patients waiting for life saving treatment, I'm in my 30's & definitely not ready to die!

The NHS are doing an amazing job, however Covid, bed capacity & staffing, amongst other issues are impacting the lives of non-Covid patients. We are hearing many sad stories of life saving Transplants cancelled, Cancer treatments postponed & other critical services on hold. People are dying needlessly. Non-covid patients are just as important, more lives can & should be saved.
