Petition Action

Make all Medical Degrees free to well qualified students.

Petition Details

The UK needs more Doctors and Nurses. Our Government should make medical degrees for doctors and nurses free to new students. This could be one of the best investments taxpayers ever make.

Additional Information

Clearly the trainees would need to commit to work for the NHS for a period of time like 7 years minimum. The above policy would serve a death knell to Agency Cover Costs in the NHS: The cost of which alone would go some way to pay for such a scheme.

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 how you would like the Government to define "well-qualified". We're also not sure what you mean by making degrees "free" for students - this could mean the Government paying students' tuition fees, or providing funding to cover their fees and their living costs.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
