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.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you're concerned about the over-prescription of topical steroids, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. At the moment, it's up to doctors to decide what treatment to prescribe in an individual case.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.

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