More details

If you are lucky even enough to get your call answerd, you still are only offered phone consultation, after giving your personal symptoms to receptionist, who are not medically trained, I now know of many people who have had to present at a/e,and have been told if they hadn't been seen, the situation could have been a lot worse,thank goodness for doctors on duty at a/e.It is time for GP s to do what they are paid for.

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.
