Increase public participation in the debate surrounding NHS reforms.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

In successive polls, the British public has listed the NHS as one one of its most valued institutions. NHS England is currently being reorganised with no public mandate as plans were not included in the governments last manifesto. We request greater public involvement in deciding its future.
