Hold Jeremy Hunt to account for his incompetence as Health Secretary.

Rejected 20 signatures

What the petition asks

During his time as Health Secretary, Mr Hunt has slashed funding, alienated Medical Professionals, asked them to work to unachievable targets, allowed private patient information to be "misplaced" by a private contrator & used state money to cover this up. He refuses to be held accountable.
