Give NHS patients a right to a second opinion

Petition Details

Make it a law that all NHS hospitals and clinics have to give patients the option of a second opinion, and make a referral accordingly at your request.

Additional Information

At present NHS patients do not have a right to a second opinion, which we believe can have serious adverse consequences for patients and their family.

Where a second opinion has been requested, no further action should be taken until this has been provided.


If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
