This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We are sorry to hear about your experience, but we can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise.

Decisions on the scheduling of reconstructive surgery is one for individual NHS trusts and not the UK Government and Parliament.

We could accept a petition calling for the Government to provide specific funding to the NHS to increase access to reconstructive surgery for cancer patients, if that's what you want to see happen.
