Rejected petition Reopen cottage hospitals shut by the Gov to treat victims of coronavirus.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

Decisions about opening new hospitals are made by individual NHS Trusts, not the Government or Parliament.

You could start a petition calling on the Government to make funding available for new hospitals, to respond to the demands of the coronavirus outbreak.

We have published a petition calling on the Government to commit to requisitioning private hospital beds amid the COVID-19 pandemic, which you might like to sign: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/302610
