Remove the Rt Hon Jeremy Hunt from the position of Secretary of State for Health

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

Jeremy Hunt has repeatedly shown himself to be incapable of being responsible for the running of the NHS.

Frequently blaming others for his own failings, the latest being to blame junior doctors for the breakdown in negotiations.

A leader and decision maker does not blame others.

Why it was rejected

It was about honours or appointments, which petitions cannot cover.

We can't accept petitions about appointments, which include petitions calling for Ministers to be sacked.

There is a petition calling for a vote of no confidence in Mr Hunt and you could consider signing this:
To debate a vote of no confidence in Health Secretary the Right Hon Jeremy Hunt

Alternatively, you could start a petition calling for the Government to change its policy in a specific way.
