What the petition asks

Stop the closure of the phlebotomy department at South Tyneside Hospital

Many staff are losing their jobs due to the GP funding being cut to the phlebotomy department meaning all patients will need to have their bloods taken at the GP surgery instead of the hospital and clinics.

Why it was rejected

It was about a matter for a local council or devolved government, not the UK Government or Parliament.
