Allow advanced appointments for the Doctors/GP Surgery.

What the petition asks
Change the “same day appointment” rule, so you can book appointments in advance.
Because, getting an appointment is almost impossible. Waiting a week or two is better than not getting one at all.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
Decisions about how to offer GP services are a matter for individual GPs, not the UK Government or Parliament.
