We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to amend the NHS (Charges to Overseas Visitors) Regulations 1989 so as to exempt HIV treatment and care from NHS charges regardless of residency status. More details
Submitted by Rachael Bruce of National AIDS Trust – Deadline to sign up by: 01 December 2007 – Signatures: 482
We believe that the current charging regulations are a danger to both individual and public health and are preventing vulnerable people living in the UK, including pregnant women, from accessing vital treatment. These inhumane regulations not only damage people’s health and violate their human rights, but result in increased and unnecessary costs to the NHS.
Further information is available from the National AIDS Trust.
