Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

This isn't something that the UK Government or Parliament could take action on. Responsibility for health and social care in Northern Ireland is a devolved issue.

You could raise this issue with your MLA, who represents you in the Northern Ireland Assembly. You can find your MLA here:
