Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
Decisions about what wards to have in hospitals are a matter for individual NHS trusts, not the UK Government or Parliament.
