Petition Details

I believe it should be a crime for a person to purposely delay ringing the emergency services in a medical emergency. I would like the Government to introduce legislation to make this a crime.


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.
