Fire Jeremy Hunt (Health Secretary) 4 incompetence in democratic decision-making

Rejected 16 signatures

What the petition asks

Jeremy Hunt has clearly demonstrated incompetence in negotiating the legitimate implementation of his proposed changes to the National Health Service, as evidenced by his decision to impose a new contract for junior doctors. The outcome shows a failure to uphold the most basic premise of democracy.

Why it was rejected
