Rejected petition Gp surgeries to open as usual and start seeing patients

I would like the government to re-open GP surgeries, everything has now gone back to normal apart from GP'S

More details

immense pressure is being applied to hospital's with a flood of patients for minor ailments things that should be seen by local gp's this creates the waiting time to increase further.

its very difficult to sit in AnE for minor with young children for such long period of times.

Everyone is being affected by GP surgeries not being able to see patients especially hospitals.
patients are expected to wait a very long time for an appointment which turns out to be useless because doctors cant examine patients. so after all the wait they are sent to wait in AnE.
GP phone consultations are ridiculous waitng times you can expect to wait upto 2 weeks for an appoinmmet
