This petition was submitted during the 2019 to 2024 Parliament
Rejected petition Doctors to resume face to face appointments
Rejected on
Reinstate face to face doctors appointments
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
Decisions about whether to offer face-to-face appointments are clinical and operational matters for individual GP practices and the NHS, not the UK Government or Parliament. There is currently no Government-imposed restriction on such appointments taking place.
