This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
This is the responsibility of the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), which is responsible for clinical advice and guidance. It makes its decisions independently of the Government Parliament.
NICE is currently reviewing its guidance on hysteroscopic sterilisation by tubal cannulation and placement of intrafallopian implants (such as Essure), because of concerns about this procedure. You can find out more here:
https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ipg315
In any case, the UK Government is only responsible for the NHS in England. Health policy is devolved in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The Republic of Ireland is a separate sovereign state.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
