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 Government raises money to fund public services through general taxation and other sources of revenue, and is not responsible for organising fundraisers.

The Government has also said that the NHS will get whatever resources it needs to cope with coronavirus: https://www.gov.uk/government/speeches/budget-speech-2020
