Review life-saving care for vulnerable patients, including with addiction issues
We believe that many vulnerable patients, including those with addiction issues, are systematically denied life-saving treatments. We call for a review to be conducted, as this medical neglect must end. Every patient deserves a fighting chance, regardless of their background or health challenges.
In our view, there is a disturbing pattern of doctors withholding treatment from vulnerable groups and those with addictions. My son Jamie passed away. Despite being in urgent need, he was denied surgical intervention and left to pass away in pain. We are calling for an immediate review to ensure all patients are given every possible chance to live.
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.
