stop the unnecessary waste of tiny plastic bags in the covid LF kits.
Rejected
14 signatures
What the petition asks
thousand of covid LF kits are being sent out every day. each one has 7 tiny plastic bags in for ‘waste’.These are entirely unnecessary, in most cases people are just throwing the waste directly in the bin without using the plastic bag. The same size cassette bags can be repurposed if necessary!
The government is in charge of the whole covid response. it is your job to source something environmentally friendly when you are asking millions of people to use them
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 an operational decision for the NHS.
