This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.

You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.

We were very sorry to read about your diagnosis.

We can't accept your petition because it's about something that the Welsh Government is responsible for. That means that the UK Government and Parliament can't look into it.

The Welsh Assembly has its own Petitions Committee. If you'd like to send your petition to the Welsh Assembly, you can find out more here:
