Rejected petition MPs must only use the National Health Service.

Parliament should pass a law prohibiting Members of parliament using or benefiting from any sort of private health care and must only use the National Health Service.

More details

The government insists that the National helath service is the envy of the world and so they should put their money where their mouth is.

If the health service is as good as they say it is, then they should have no issue in agreeing to this law.

If the health service needs improvment then then, as users, they will help ensure improvements are made.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Decisions about whether to receive healthcare through the NHS or privately are a matter for every individual, including MPs, not the UK Government or Parliament.

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