Rejected petition Bring back NHS walk-in centres

More details

We urge the government to bring back NHS walk-in centres without delay. These are essential to provide access to a doctor when GPs are not available, saving many unnecessary visits to A&E.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

Neither the Government nor the Department of Health is responsible for commissioning local services such as walk-in centres. Clinical commissioning groups and NHS England are responsible for providing local services according to local needs, without political intervention.

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