Rejected petition The NHS needs more Physician-led Leadership

Rejected on 3 March 2017

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, if you would like all NHS hospitals in England to be physician-led, you could start a new petition asking for that.

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