Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

We need to provide 24 hour services for NHS staff to access hot food at NHS hospitals. More needs to be done to stop them starving during their shifts and stop them resorting to eating junk food from over priced vending machines.
24 hour canteen access and hot food access.

Why it was rejected

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

Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Decisions about catering in NHS facilities are a matter for the NHS, not the Government or Parliament.

As a result it is not possible for the Government or Parliament to take the action you have requested.
