Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
We can't accept your petition in its current form as it does not call for a clear action from the UK Government and Parliament. It is not clear what department you would like to change the name off. If you are referring to the use of 'mental health' in the NHS then you could suggest an alternative name and start a petition calling for the NHS to use that alternative word.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
