Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you are concerned about accountability of certain medical professionals, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

Medical professionals are already regulated by professional bodies, and the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman considers complaints that have not been resolved by the NHS in England, so it's not clear what additional accountability arrangements you want to see.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.

You have the right to make a complaint about any aspect of NHS care, treatment or service, and can find out how to complain about the NHS here: https://www.nhs.uk/using-the-nhs/about-the-nhs/how-to-complain-to-the-nhs/
