This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. The conduct of tests and the health and safety of NHS staff are clinical and operational matters for which the NHS is responsible, not the UK Government or Parliament.
