Rejected petition Save Hamilton Court & 6 other Four Seasons Care Homes from closure

Rejected on 1 December 2015

7 PNH run by Four Seasons are facing closure due to huge profit loss. This partition is asking the N.I. Gov to intervene and stop closures NOW: in particular, to review the tariffs given to all PNHs in N.I to subsidize running costs and prevent any future possible closures.

Why was this petition rejected?

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

This isn't something that the UK Government or Parliament could take action on. Responsibility for health and social care in Northern Ireland is a devolved issue.

You could raise this issue with your MLA, who represents you in the Northern Ireland Assembly. You can find your MLA here:

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