Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
There are no Government restrictions that prevent doctors (such as GPs) or other healthcare professionals from holding face-to-face appointments. Decisions relating to doctors' appointments, including decisions on whether face-to-face appointments are appropriate, are operational matters for the NHS and individual healthcare providers, not the UK Government or Parliament.
