Rejected

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
It was about honours or appointments, which petitions cannot cover.
We can't accept petitions about appointments. If you're concerned about a particular policy or decision that's the responsibility of Government or Parliament, you could start a petition about that.
