Why was this petition rejected?

There’s already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.

You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.

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

Ensure access to treatment and screening for all cancer patients during COVID-19: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/603596

Invest urgently in the NHS cancer workforce in the autumn Spending Review: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/596566

We could accept a petition specifically about increasing funding for radiotherapy equipment, but your petition appeared to want the Government to take wider action than just this.

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