Call for Jeremy Hunt to resign as health secretary.

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

As Jeremy Hunt has shown in the last few weeks, he is incapable of fulfilling his roll as health secretary. Following the plea of junior doctors across the UK to provide a better work contract for the betterment of the whole NHS, he has arrogantly dismissed the seriousness of the situation.

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.
