Overrule Jeremy Hunt's Decision to Impose a New Contract on Junior Doctors

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

Health minister Jeremy Hunt has decided to Impose a new Contract on Junior Doctors despite the fact that it would force them to work dangerously long hours for less pay. He has ignored the union's and the public's opposition and is forcibly imposing this new contract which could cripple the NHS.

Why it was rejected

There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.

For Jeremy Hunt NOT to impose the new junior doctor contracts.
