Remove unnecessary cosmetic treatments and sex changes from the NHS
The NHS is beyond stretched as it is and to top it off people just stretch it even more with unnecessary treatments, that if they so desperately want can pay for. Unless been in a horror accident there is no need for things like plastic surgery to be on the NHS
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can't accept your petition because we are not sure what action you would like the UK Government or Parliament to take.
In particular, we aren't sure what you mean by "unnecessary". Cosmetic surgery or sex changes are only provided on the NHS if a Doctor has decided it is medically necessary.
