The Parliament Petition Website Will Not Accept Our Campaign!

Hello all, 

For those who have asked why the petition/campaign is not on the parliament petition website. Please see below:

Dear Claire Swain,

Sorry, we can’t accept your petition – “Reverse the Cruel Changes on the NICE Chronic Pain Guidelines”.

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not responsible for.

Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or House of Commons is responsible for. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence is an executive non-departmental public body, so the content of guidance produced by NICE is an operational matter for NICE, not the Government or Parliament. As a result it is not possible for the Government or House of Commons to take the action you have requested.
