What the petition asks
Cost-cutting plans to slash the number of people eligible for hip and knee replacements have been criticised by surgeons.
The CCG's plan to only treat the most severe cases where pain interferes with daily life. The proposals have no clinical justification. Care is being rationed.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
