Change the NHS structure to reduce outpatients waiting time due to Covid19.
We know that the NHS has suspended most of the outpatients appointments to deal with the Covid19 pandemic, resulting out patients waiting time significantly increase. It is the time that the Government should take unprecedented steps to reduce the waiting time to save the lives of the patients’.

2.GP may want to see test results for diagnosis.You wait weeks for an appointment for x-ray,scan.This can be reduced if one in every 3 GP surgeries have a common X-ray,scan and blood taking facility(we could call this a GP Hub).GP’s should see test results within 2 hours.
3.GP may refer patient to a consultant.Appoint consultants with in the GP Hubs to reduce waiting time.

You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Your petition is about something the NHS, not the Government or House of Commons, is responsible for. While the Government funds the NHS, decisions about operational matters, such as the opening times of individual NHS Practices, and the equipment provided at these Practices, is a matter for individual Practices and NHS Trusts.
You could start a petition calling on the Government to provide increased funding to the NHS so that they are able to increase capacity for seeing patients after the outbreak, if that is what you want to happen, but this couldn’t request any actions that would be operational decisions for the NHS.
