Make it mandatory to have air conditioning in hospitals

What the petition asks
As a country our public services do not have the infrastructure to deal with even mildly hot weather. This makes working in hospitals, and more importantly being a patient, unbearable during the summer. I propose that parliament introduces legislation re: maximum temperatures in care areas.
Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. In particular, we're not sure whether you want the law to set a maximum temperature in hospitals or more widely. We're not sure exactly what you mean by "care areas".
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
