Make it an offence not to phone 999 if someone needs emergency assistance

Petition Details

At present someone sees another person is in an emergency situation there is no legal requirement to contact emergency services. We wish for this to be made a criminal offence.

Additional Information

In the event that someone is in need of emerging assistance, such as requiring urgent medical care, not calling emergency services may result in the individual's death. We believe that leaving someone to die without doing anything to prevent it should be made a specific criminal offence, with the risk of a fine or even custodial sentence.
