Rejected petition I would like for all doctors surgery's to be re-opened like before

Rejected on 4 October 2021

Re-open doctors surgery's fully so people are able to be seen by a doctor when needed. Covid safe environment like all environments are now. For face to face appointments to be made daily where patients and children are able to be seen when parents or carers are worried or concerned.

I believe that people of all ages especially children are not getting the level or care needed by doctors in their local area. I believe that hospitals are more over crowded as doctors surgery's are not allowing patients to be seen. Phone call appointments are not anadaquit and I think people are struggling or extremely worried by this

Why was this petition rejected?

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

Decisions relating to GP appointments, including decisions on whether face-to-face appointments are appropriate, are operational matters for the NHS, not the UK Government or Parliament.
