Rejected petition Stop the dangerous 111 and out of hours

Since the start of 111 and Out of hours children and adults have died. Jeremy Hunt has got it wrong! They both need shutting down.

More details

111 and Out of hours should not be assessing patients over the phone. It's unsafe practice and should be stopped

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We can't accept your petition in its current form as it does not call for a clear action from the UK Government and Parliament. It's clear that you would like the NHS 111 service to be abolished, but it is not clear what you mean by out of hours services. If you would like the NHS to close all services which give patients advice over the phone, you could start a petition which clearly explains this.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
