Legislate to require drivers to report collisions with cats - 35,196 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 41,447 - 232 added in the past 24hrs)

It is legal in the UK to hit a cat when driving and not need to stop or report collisions, leaving them scared, alone, and in pain. Cats are important, loved, valued family members for many and we believe the law should reflect this.

The Government responsed to this petition on 3rd February 2026 (View Full Response)
The Government has no current plans to require drivers to report collisions with cats. However, the Road Safety Strategy will improve road safety for all road users, including cats and other animals.

Introduce an NHS data opt-out & require a consultation for system expansions - 29,626 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 40,249 - 210 added in the past 24hrs)

Introduce a clear national opt-out for NHS data processed in the Federated Data Platform (FDP) and National Data Integration Tenant (NDIT) and require a full public consultation before any further expansion of these systems.

The Government responsed to this petition on 26th February 2026 (View Full Response)
The National Data Opt-Out does not apply to the NDIT or FDP as data use supports direct care, is legally required or is anonymised. National public engagement is shaping changes to the opt-out system.
