This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

Patient care, including whether to prescribe complementary or alternative medicines or therapies, is a matter for individual clinicians and the NHS, not the Government or House or House of Commons.

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