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 English language requirements for doctors are set by the independent regulator for doctors in the UK, the General Medical Council (GMC), not the Government or Parliament.

We could accept a petition calling on the Government to investigate how to reduce barriers to non-UK medical professionals from joining the NHS.

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