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

The naming of hospitals is a matter for NHS England and individual NHS trusts, and not the Government or Parliament. You can read the NHS's identity guidelines here: https://www.england.nhs.uk/nhsidentity/identity-guidelines/naming-principles/
