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 want the NHS to be recongised, but it's not clear how you want a royal charter to be used to achieve this. Royal Charters are instruments of incorporation, granted by The Queen, which confers independent legal personality on an organisation and defines its objectives, constitution and powers to govern its own affairs. It's not clear from your petition that this is what you want.

We have published the following petition, which you might like to sign:

Change the name of the NHS to the Royal National Health Service: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/318346

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