Petition Action

Introduce a priority line for serving members of the Military who need surgery.

Petition Details

Introduce a priority queue for serving members of the armed forces who need medical surgery as a result of injury. NHS waiting lists are a struggle for everyone however the selfless commitment of men and women to serve their country deserves surgery fast tracked by the NHS.

Additional Information

I am a serving soldier. 10 months ago I suffered an injury from a car crash where the other driver was at fault. I broke both my legs and need further corrective surgery after the initial discharge from hospital. Members of the armed forces are given a year to get back to work, however we are having to wait longer than a year for surgery due to waiting lists. We sacrifice our lives to serve our country, we deserve to be treated quicker to continue to provide that service.
