Rejected petition NHS to have adolescent age mental health hospitals adolescent wards in hospitals

Rejected on 5 April 2022

Change the age criteria in hospital wards

Get The NHS to think about adolescent age sick children.

Why was this petition rejected?

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

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Decisions about what wards to have in hospitals are a matter for individual NHS trusts, not the UK Government or Parliament.

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

Review and reform Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/605314

We could accept a petition calling on the Government to increase funding for NHS mental health services for adolescents, if that's something you'd like to happen.

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