Remove Jeremy Hunt from his position as Minister for Health

Rejected 17 signatures

What the petition asks

He is damaging the NHS by imposing ever greater workloads on all medical staff resulting in burn out and stress, by insufficient funding and blaming resultant poorer services on incompetence, by reneging on his duty to provide, and by allowing increasing privatisation of services.

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.
