Get GPs back to offering face to face appointments without telephone triage

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Implement their guidance to get GPs to offer patients face to face appointments without the need for a telephone triage first.
Because the current service being offered by GPs is inadequate and will lead to cases of negligence being brought against them. They are currently refusing to follow government guidance in offering patients the choice of a face to face appointment.
