We want legislation to make GP's return to pre pandemic service
GP's aren't seeing patients. They will only speak to you on the telephone and even then you have to wait weeks for a call. This in turn is causing more people to go to A & E departments.
Not being able to see the GP is causing great distress for some people and it's a basic right.
The Pandemic has been a perfect excuse to change the system which may suit the surgery but it doesn't help the patient.
Life threatening conditions are being missed or misdiagnosed because you can't tell what is wrong over the telephone
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:
We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
There are no Government restrictions that prevent GPs from holding face-to-face appointments. Decisions relating to GP appointments, including decisions on whether face-to-face appointments are appropriate, are operational matters for the NHS and individual GPs, not the UK Government or Parliament.
