This petition was submitted during the 2017-2019 parliament
Rejected petition GP should listen to more than 1 problem in 1 appointment
I have noticed that the time given for each appointment was 10 min but quite often my consultation lasted less than 5 min and to discuss another problem I had to book a new appointment which could have been delt with in 2-3 min at same time. Proper use of 10 min will help to decrease load on NHS.
