Ensure doctors are giving face to face consultations, not just telephone.

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

Ensure doctors surgeries are providing a duty of care that they are supposed to, by doing so ensuring people are getting the treatment they deserve and not misdiagnosis. If public places are opening up again, and life it continuing then doctors should be seeing/treating their patients.

It is important that individuals health needs are being met especially during a pandemic. It is unfair to allow misdiagnosis’ to be continued as a proper consultation cannot be achieved over the telephone. Furthermore more people every day are being vaccinated, including key workers in the health sector, so why aren’t GP’s being made to have face to face appointments with their patients?
