Give patients a right to be seen by an NHS GP or dentist within three days

Petition Details

We want the Government to require GPs and NHS dentists to see patients within three days.

Additional Information

Since the pandemic many GP surgeries are difficult to contact and are not providing appointments in a timely manner. For many it is very difficult to find an NHS dentist. UK citizens contribute to the NHS through national insurance but the GP and NHS dentist system is failing the public.

We want the Government to impose a statutory duty to provide appointments within three days, which we believe is reasonable.
