Rejected petition Change of law for health check at 35 instead of 40

More details

We have several friends suffering cancer more than ever all under the age of 40. We believe that a health check at 35 would help future generations.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or House of Commons is responsible for.

Decisions about the age at which health checks are a matter for the NHS, not the Government or House of Commons, and these are not set out in law.

We could accept a petition calling on the Government to fund NHS Health Checks for everyone from the age of 35, if that's something you would like to happen.

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