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.

We understand that you are concerned about the recent change to the Secretary of State's powers to suspend the pension rights of NHS pension scheme members who have been charged with certain offences, but we're not sure what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.

If you would like that change to be reversed, you could start a new petition setting out clearly what action you would like the Government or Parliament to take.

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