Halt the enforced contract change for junior doctors.

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

The government's unilateral contract changes for junior doctors look likely to dramatically cut wages, increase acceptable working hours, remove safeguards against overworking doctors and further damage morale in the profession.

Why it was rejected

There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.

I'm sorry - we cannot accept duplicate petitions. We think this petition is similar to yours:

The DDRB's proposals to change Junior Doctor's contracts CANNOT go ahead.

You might like to sign this petition instead. It is more likely to get more signatures that way.
