Theresa May, please address the "Save our NHS" rally in London on March 4th.

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

We call on Theresa May to show the courage of her convictions and attend the rally to reassure us that the concerns of all those assembled are misplaced and that the government really can be trusted to protect the NHS and Social Care.

Concerns about the state of the NHS and Social Care Provision are being voiced by Junior Doctors, Nurses, the BMA, and the population at large who have been posting their own news stories on social media about the increasingly inadequate care being offered due to a lack of basic facilities and adequate funding.

We would like her to outline her exact policies - for example, how is she going to address the PFI debts the NHS are being forced to pay? How is she going to address the £30Bn shortfall in funding which has been predicted by 2020?

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

This would be a personal decision for the Prime Minister, not the responsibility of the Government or the House of Commons as a whole.
