Jeremy Hunt to resign as Health Secretary

Rejected 20 signatures

What the petition asks

The health service has no confidence in Jeremy Hunt, therefore it only seems logical for him to step down. He has consistently misrepresented evidence and caused panic, directly leading to patient harm. If a member of the health service had done this, they would have been fired ....

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

The resignation of an individual Minister is not a decision for the Government or Parliament as a whole.
