What the petition asks
Northern Ireland has been stricken with suicides for years and it's widely known that North Belfast has had an epidemic for years of suicides. In the last week 2 young neighbours have taken their lives and left behind a torn community. Parents are petrified of their kids actions
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
Responsibility for health services in Northern Ireland has been devolved, which means that your petition is about something that the Northern Ireland Assembly is responsible for.
