Call for the resignation of Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt.

Rejected 20 signatures

What the petition asks

Jeremy Hunt has neglected the problems of the NHS. He continues to dismiss the severeness of the financial crisis, and has not gained any increased funding. Money has been wasted on consultations leading to cuts in service, and morale amongst medical staff is at an all-time low.

Jeremy Hunt has wasted millions on consultations, including prolonged meetings with junior doctors, and with consultants to plan further cuts to staff & services. He failed to accept that 98% of staff know the NHS better than him. He continues to deny there is a shortage of resources & infrastructure, and has let the total PFI debt grow to over £300 billion. If this were wiped off, the NHS, once pride of the UK around the world, could operate successfully once again.

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.

If you're concerned about a particular policy or decision, you could start a petition about that.
