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 Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. The ambulance service is already considered an emergency service for the purposes of legislation.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
