Scrap the 30 minute walk in return for vouchers

What the petition asks
Although the intention behind the campaign is to encourage people being more healthy, it leaves out people who have mobility issues who use a wheelchair or can only walk short distances. Can we ask for the campaign to redesigned to involve people with mobility issues?
The NHS has announced that people will be rewarded for walking for 30 minutes a day in vouchers.
Unfortunately people who have mobility problems or who cannot walk due to disabilities or health conditions will be left out. The concept only works for people who CAN walk.

Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
As the details for this scheme have not yet been announced, we cannot conclude that there is no intention to include people with mobility issues.
When the scheme and further details have formally been announced, a petition on this may be acceptable.
In the meantime you may wish to contact your local MP to see whether they can access any further information about the scheme. You can find your local MP here: https://members.parliament.uk/FindYourMP
