The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Decisions about NHS staffing and medical treatment are a matter for individual NHS Trusts, not the Government or Parliament.
You could call on the Government to provide additional funding to the NHS to recruit osteopaths to help respond to the coronavirus outbreak.
