This petition was submitted during the 2017-2019 parliament
Rejected petition Stop unnecessary cosmetic surgery on the NHS
Stop people having cosmetic surgery on the NHS unnecessarily, unless it’s for medical reasons (not mental health), or due to trauma or a condition not because someone just doesn’t like a part of their body! The NHS is massively overstretched as it is and is already struggling with funds.
More details
People like Josie Cunningham for example that blag free boob jobs and procedures like that etc for purely cosmetic reasons and are draining the already overstretched NHS should be stopped!
Cosmetic surgery such as this should be paid for by the person NOT the taxpayer - the funding should be put towards things such as saving people’s lives, providing more equipment for sick people etc!
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.
Cosmetic surgery is not routinely provided on the NHS. Occasionally, it may be provided on the NHS for psychological or other health reasons.
