Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Closed petition Reintroduce waiting time targets for seeing a GP

I want the government to set a standard time frame in which patients must be seen by doctors. Current waiting times are putting people with treatable conditions at risk and allowing the severity of their condition to increase.

About petition data

The data shows the number of people who have signed the petition by country as well as in the constituency of each Member of Parliament. This data is available for all petitions on the site. It is not a list of people who have signed the petition. The only name that is shared on the site is that of the petition creator.

We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
