Petition Make it compulsory for children to be able to get GP appointments when unwell.

I have been fined due to children being off sick from school and when calling the Learning Trust,they have said that if you can cover all absences with medical proofs , the fine will be cancelled. If not, the fine will remain.

More details

On many occasions I have phoned the GP Surgery however they have no appointments available. My friend has been through the same experience with her son and I am sure many other parents have too. In conclusion, I think this petition should be signed and taken into consideration as parents will be relieved from stress and financial difficulties.
