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. We're not sure what kind of a Commission you want. There are several different kinds of Commission, including parliamentary commissions and royal commissions. You could start a petition to establish a specific kind of Commission to consider the future of the NHS and social care.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
