This petition was submitted during the 2019 to 2024 Parliament
Rejected petition All local medical centres should be obliged to have GPs of both sexes available.
Rejected on
Make the provision of both male and female GPS a legal requirement at all surgeries.
I recently had a cancer scare relating to my genitalia. I had to go privately to get this checked out as my GP is a woman who recently replaced my longstanding male doctor. The practice has no male GPS on its books at all.
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.
Decisions about who to have on staff at a medical centre are an operational matter for individual GPs, not the UK Government or Parliament.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
