Prioritise cancer clinics during covid.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Rapid access breast clinics have been cancelled because of covid leading to unacceptable delays. These clinics need to take priority and not be cancelled
Early detection for breast cancer is essential, these clinics are vital and are being cancelled due to staff being sent to covid areas. These clinics need to be ring fenced and kept safe so breast cancer screening can go ahead

Why it was rejected

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

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. This is a clinical and operational matter for NHS England and individual NHS trusts.
