This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

We understand that you want the Government to do something to acknowledge the role of the NHS, but it's not clear exactly what you want the Government to do. The Government is not responsible for designating "national days".

We have started a petition calling on the Government to create a new Bank Holiday to thank those who helped during the Coid-19 crisis, which you might like to sign: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/303882

We have also started a petition calling on the Government to award Covid-19 medals to all emergency services and involved armed forces, which you might like to sign: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/302613
