This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

We can't publish petitions when the request is something that's already happening or something that has been announced since you started your petition.

We think your petition is covered by Government or Parliament action already. If you'd like something else, you could start a new petition clearly explaining what it is.

According to NICE Clinical Guideline CG76 a healthcare professional must “discuss the benefits, side effects and long˗term effects with the patient to allow them to make an informed choice”.

You can start a new petition if there is a specific change you would like to call for.

If you have concerns about the advice you, or someone you know, has received from a healthcare professional please see this web page: https://www.england.nhs.uk/contact-us/feedback-and-complaints/complaint/.

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