Commission an independent review into GP access

Closed 2,350 signatures

What the petition asks

The Government must commission an independent review of access to general practice. Patients are struggling to access safe GP care in a timely manner. Equally, GP teams are overwhelmed and struggling to meet patient demands.
This call for an urgent review is backed by the Doctor’s Association: https://www.dauk.org/news/2021/10/05/petition-to-parliament-to-debate-gp-access/.
