Rejected petition Stop student nurses being counted in the staffing numbers!

Student nurses are in training, they shadow....

But it's obvious that they're being counted in the numbers of staffing. They are nervous and untrained. The NHS has had enough pressure than to allow untrained nurses to be counted in the numbers.

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.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you are concerned about students being included in NHS workforce statistics, but we're not sure what statistics you are referring to. It is up to the NHS, not the Government or Parliament, how it publishes any workforce statistics.

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