Rejected petition Stop the Royal Free Hospital shutting it's Paediatric department.

The Royal Free Hospital are closing their paediatric department, using COVID as an excuse for cost cutting. We must ensure this is at worst a temporary measure as this vital department stays at the Royal Free.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

Decisions about the services provided at particular hospitals are a matter for those hospitals and the local NHS trust, not the Government or House of Commons.

We could accept a petition calling on the Government to increase funding paediatric services, to enable departments such as this to continue to operate.

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