Rejected petition That all NHS staff banned from wearing their Uniform to and from work

One of the main reasons that there are so many infections floating around the hospitals and around the UK. Is due to nursing staff, cleaning staff etc wearing their uniform on the way to work and after work including their hospital shoes which is then carried around to create more germs.

More details

I do believe that if any nhs staff is caught wearing their uniform
outside of work then harsh punishments should be given.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

NHS England is operationally independent of government. Some of its activities are decided by government, for example, which treatments will be available or whether a particular hospital will be kept open. Staff uniforms are not an area for which the Department for Health is responsible.

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