Improve NHS response times and follow-up for women’s health symptoms

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

Improve NHS response times and ensure faster follow-up for women with ongoing symptoms, including timely communication of abnormal test results, quicker GP review, and faster referral to specialists where needed.
Many women are left waiting weeks or months while dealing with ongoing pain, bleeding, and other serious symptoms. Delays in follow-up, especially after abnormal test results, can cause distress and impact daily life. Women deserve to feel heard, supported, and receive timely care when seeking help.
