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.

It's clear that you are concerned about health tourism and the use of EHIC cards. But it is not clear what action you would like the UK Government to take. For example, you might want existing rules about eligibility to be more strictly enforced, or you might want the rules about who is eligible to access health services to be changed.

You could start a new petition asking for the specific action that you would like the Government or Parliament to take.

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