This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. We're not sure whether you'd like this law to apply to anyone who makes decisions relating to the NHS, or only to politicians. You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
