This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

The NHS is publicly funded, but many people have been donating to NHS Charities Together, which brings together more than 230 NHS charities across the UK. Decisions about how to allocate any donations is a matter for NHS Charities, not the Government or House of Commons. You can find out more about NHS Charities Together on their website: www.nhscharitiestogether.co.uk/what-we-do/
