Rejected petition Introduce Admiral nurses on an access for all basis.
This would take the weight off mental health services and helps curb carers getting mental health problems, costing less money in the long run. Statistically there's a 1 in 2* chance of you getting Alzheimer's by 85 which would mean that you are either a carer or a person with Alzheimer's.

When things get challenging or difficult, Admiral nurses work alongside people with dementia, and their families: giving them one-to-one support, expert guidance and practical solutions. It helps lift the burden on the carer resulting in less chance of mental health issues.

Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure what you mean by "an access for all basis".
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, you could ask the Government to increase the numbers of Admiral nurses employed by the NHS in England.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
