Remove Jeremy Hunt as health secretary

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

Jeremy Hunt has been health secretary since 2012. He has refused a new position in a recent cabinet reshuffle. It is time for change.

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 Cabinet Ministers to be sacked.

If you're concerned about a particular policy or decision that's the responsibility of Government or Parliament, you could start a petition about that.
