Rejected petition Mandate MPs (and immediate family) cannot use private healthcare

Mandate all MPs and their immediate family members experience the same level of healthcare as the general public by banning the use of private healthcare and queue jumping within the NHS.

More details

The NHS is fundamental to the well being of our country. We must encourage our MPs to protect this vital asset. One way to ensure its proper funding is to disallow those whom maintain it (and their immediate families) from queue jumping or resorting to private healthcare. If MPs have to use the NHS as the general public do, perhaps their approach to its funding will improve.
