Rejected petition: Cancer Shouldn’t Cost Everything: Financial Support for Patients Must Improve

Rejected on

We want the government to provide faster, fairer financial support for cancer patients, increase aid during treatment, and ensure no one fighting cancer falls into debt or hardship while trying to survive.

We want the government to ensure cancer patients can cover the costs of treatment and daily life. Many cannot work and face extra expenses for travel, medication, and care. Support must be quick, adequate, and reliable so patients can focus on recovery without financial strain.


Why was this petition rejected?

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

We can see that you are based in Wales. Your petition is about health policy which is devolved to the Welsh Government. That means that the UK Government and Parliament can't look into it.

The Welsh Parliament has its own Petitions system. You can find out more here: https://petitions.senedd.wales/

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