Gps should start taking appointments for non feverish illnesses in covid19.
We have slowly started to open our doors to the public since this pandemic including pubs/restaurants etc however Gp surgeries are still doing telephone consultations. Vulnerable people like newborn babies and elderly who have other concerns not related to covid symptoms are being neglected.
To manage and treat other illnesses as soon as possible ie. Colic, constipation, rashes in babies etc... New parents can get the support they need for there babies which also helps them with postnatal depression.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. GPs are able to accept in-person appointments, but it's a decision for each practice who should be seen.
The NHS has written to GPs to make sure they are communicating this to patients. You can read a news story about this here:
