Rejected petition Call on Jeremy Hunt MP to resign as Health Secretary

Jeremy Hunt states that there is no excuse for some of health service’s shortcomings after figures show record delays for patient. As Health Secretary he is accountable for the failures in the service. The fact that the service is suffering demonstrates that he is not up to the job.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

The resignation of an individual Minister is not a decision for the Government or Parliament as a whole.

If you're concerned about a particular policy or decision that's the responsibility of Government or Parliament, you could start a petition about that.

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