Rejected petition Compulsorily Oblige all GPs in Britain to Reopen Fully

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or House of Commons is responsible for.

Decisions about the provision of local NHS services, including GPs, are a matter for Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) and individual practitioners, not the Government or House of Commons.

We have published the following petition, which you might like to sign:
