This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to contain a clear request for something that you would like the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Your petition also suggests that you would like action to be taken in Northern Ireland. Health policy in Northern Ireland is the responsibility of the Northern Ireland Assembly and the Northern Ireland Executive. That means that the UK Government and Parliament can't look into it.

You might want to write to your local MLA (Member of the Legislative Assembly), who represents you in the Northern Ireland Assembly, about this issue. You can find your MLA, and how to contact them, here:
