Rejected petition Start seeing GP’s Face to Face again

We can already travel public transport, sit in a theatre, pub or restaurant. We have to see dentists and chiropodists face to face. All that separates us is a mask. Well let’s wear masks if needs be, but allow us to see GP’s face to face again.

More details

Parliament made the rules, therefore it’s parliament job to reverse the rules.
I also believe this will remove pressure on A&E as people won’t take it upon themselves to find the only way to see a doctor is via a hospital as first port of call.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

There are no Government restrictions that prevent GPs from holding face-to-face appointments. Decisions relating to GP appointments, including decisions on whether face-to-face appointments are appropriate, are operational matters for the NHS and individual GPs, not the UK Government or Parliament.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
