Create Faye’s Law to stop mislabelling and missed diagnoses by requiring full patient history review

The Health Secretary must introduce Faye’s Law: a legal duty for NHS staff to review a patient’s full medical history before diagnosis or discharge, end mislabelling, ensure proper safeguarding, and allow historic cases like Faye’s to be reviewed without legal restrictions.

Why is this important?

Faye Cunningham died at 27 after years of mislabelling, ignored symptoms, abnormal results, and missed safeguarding. Her death was preventable. Faye’s Law would stop these failures, protect vulnerable patients, and ensure no one is dismissed, judged, or left untreated again.
