Demand GP's and the NHS resume face to face consultations.

What the petition asks

We demand the government to MANDATE that GP's resume the duties they are being paid for, by seeing patients face to face. Too many people have lost their lives due to the inability to recieve proper diagnosis without a direct, in-person examination.
