Demand the immediate resignation of the Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt

Rejected 17 signatures

What the petition asks

Jeremy Hunt should be forced to resign his post as Health Secretary as he has categorically failed to understand the position of junior doctors in this dispute, and is a threat to the future of the NHS. As well as commanding no confidence or respect from the industry, or the country, at large.

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.
