More details from petition creator

It files in the face of the civil liberties of any citizen seeking healthcare, to have their genetic data stored on a criminal database if they have not been convicted of any crime.

The Government’s annual census report on inpatient mental health care entitled, Count Me In’, indicates that people from African Caribbean communities are 50% more likely to be referred to mental health services through the courts or after being detained in police custody and so will have had their DNA taken during this process.

The injustices of bad science could lead to innocent people being condemned in the future.

Both the public and mental health patients currently on the system have no way of knowing how secure this information is.

It is imperative that patients, who are innocent of any crime, have their details removed from the DNA database, as quickly as possible.

We cannot live in a society criminalises those who need help.
