Gp surgeries to open as usual and start seeing patients

Rejected 20 signatures

What the petition asks

I would like the government to re-open GP surgeries, everything has now gone back to normal apart from GP'S

immense pressure is being applied to hospital's with a flood of patients for minor ailments things that should be seen by local gp's this creates the waiting time to increase further.

its very difficult to sit in AnE for minor with young children for such long period of times.

Everyone is being affected by GP surgeries not being able to see patients especially hospitals.
patients are expected to wait a very long time for an appointment which turns out to be useless because doctors cant examine patients. so after all the wait they are sent to wait in AnE.
GP phone consultations are ridiculous waitng times you can expect to wait upto 2 weeks for an appoinmmet

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

Decisions about how NHS services are provided during the Covid-19 outbreak is a matter for the NHS and individual practices, not the Government or House of Commons.
