Petition Action

Get the doctors back into empty surgeries. All surgeries are constantly empty

Petition Details

To get doctors back behind their desks. I was in my surgery recently and it was empty. I took a video on tiktok and it has racked up thousands of views and 99.9% of the comments all said they had the same problem. We cant keep going on waiting weeks to see a Dr

Additional Information

I want the Government to get to get Doctors back into surgeries. Doctors can spot health problems in people that the patient knows nothing about. Doctors are brilliant at putting people at ease, give them hope but its not the same during phone call consultations. Making people wait, sometimes up to 4 weeks for a face to face consultation. People suffering from mental health issues or feel they have a serious health issue is detrimental to their well being. Get or Doctors back behind their desk.
