Stop the closure of Marske Medical Centre

Rejected 20 signatures

What the petition asks

The centre which provides care for more than 5000 patients is set to close at the end of June after health chiefs announced they could not find anyone to run it. The only other practice in Marske (which also covers New Marske) only has capacity for 2000 patients and has now closed its books.
This decision leaves some of the most vulnerable members of our community without easily accessible healthcare and we must do everything we can to stop this from happening.

Why it was rejected

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

We can't accept your petition because the issue you raise is not the responsibility of the Government or Parliament.

While the Government is ultimately responsible for the NHS and accountable to Parliament, the day to day operational decisions are a matter for NHS England. You can contact NHS England using the details on the following website:
