Call for a Vote of No Confidence in Theresa May and Jeremy Hunt
Rejected
21 signatures
What the petition asks
The NHS is in crisis due to funding cuts, falling numbers of staff who for years have had no pay rise. Staff are expected to take on more duties and quality of care is suffering because of it. The mental & physical health of NHS staff is suffering, leading to more pressure on services.
Why it was rejected
It was about honours or appointments, which petitions cannot cover.
We can't accept petitions about appointments, which includes calling for Ministers to be sacked or for a vote of no confidence.
If you're concerned about a particular policy or decision that's the responsibility of Government or the House of Commons, you could start a petition about that.
We used to accept petitions that called for a vote of no confidence. However, the Petitions Committee can’t schedule votes of no confidence. This was often frustrating and disappointing for petitioners. Petitions calling for action on policy are more likely to be an effective way of achieving the change you want.
