Get Doctors Surgerys back to working the way they did pre pandemic
I want the Govenment to make Doctors Surgerys get back to working the way they did pre pandemic where you could actually go in and see a doctor face to face on the day you call up.
I want the Govenment to do this to help alleviate the unnecessary pressure that has been put onto hospitals and pharmacy's since doctors surgerys have decided to offload the majority of their workload to both.
Pre pandemic you could call up a doctors surgery in the morning and either get a face to face emergency appointment the same day or book an appointment for a face to face non emergency (blood test etc) appointment at a later date.
People are now bypassing surgerys and A&E is suffering.
