Help organise and support NHS day (like red nose day or comic relief day)

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

To help support NHS, help organise a fundraising day where the NHS is the centre of everything and receives the credit it deserves - help organise a day like comic relief or red nose day to help support funding for the NHS
In the times we have see recently, the NHS is already stretched and going to be stretched even further that it is capable of doing.

The NHS doesn't get the funding it deserves and should be supported more than what it has, because it is looked at as a symbol of hope for all those that are sick

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

The Government is responsible for funding public services from general taxation and other sources of revenue, but is not responsible for organising fundraisers.
