Introduce an NHS data opt-out & require a consultation for system expansions - 27,709 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 31,095 - 46 added in the past 24hrs)

Introduce a clear national opt-out for NHS data processed in the Federated Data Platform (FDP) and National Data Integration Tenant (NDIT) and require a full public consultation before any further expansion of these systems.

The Government responsed to this petition on 26th February 2026 (View Full Response)
The National Data Opt-Out does not apply to the NDIT or FDP as data use supports direct care, is legally required or is anonymised. National public engagement is shaping changes to the opt-out system.

Abolish interest charges on student loans - 21,889 Signatures

Student loans are heavily subsidised by government. To be fair to taxpayers and low earners, those who financially benefit should contribute to the cost. Adding interest to loans is one way to do this
