Important:

This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament

Rejected petition Get GPS to see patients as normal again on a face to face basis, pre pandemic.

I want action because it is needed. People are fed up now of being fobbed off and signposted to other services.

More details

All other healthcare workers have continued to work through the pandemic, GPs should return to work now too, enough is enough.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are 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.
