This provides protection for those changing jobs between contracts/jobs within the NHS.","additional_details":"The current break in service policy only covers 1-week. This is highly unreasonable, as it doesnt afford time for relocation, times between trust inductions, or any reasonable reason leading to a gap between NHS jobs. Moving to a 1-month break in service policy would be more reasonable and protect those facing redundancy from missing out on earning compensation.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":8,"created_at":"2025-07-26T06:16:33.852Z","updated_at":"2025-08-07T10:19:24.638Z","rejected_at":"2025-08-07T10:19:14.346Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2025-07-27T13:30:50.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":null,"rejection":{"code":"irrelevant","details":"We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.\r\n\r\nDecisions about NHS break in service policies are a matter for the NHS, not the UK Government or Parliament."},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
