I am a patient at the New Lakeside Stanground and New Queen Street GP surgeries in Peterborough, struggling to access NHS GP appointments due to limited accessibility, either online or via a telephone call. This challenging situation has been gravely affecting my quality of life, limiting my capacity to work, and restricting any possibility for me to get a referral to an NHS specialist.

It has come to light that this is not just my plight, but one shared by numerous others in Stanground and Whittlesey. We are facing an unprecedented difficulty in accessing these critical healthcare services - an unacceptable situation that demands immediate rectification.

Statistical data from NHS statistics shows there is a national trend of declining ease of access to GP services, However, the situation in Stanground and Whittlesey to be significantly worse, evidenced by numerous similar accounts from a wide range of patients at our local surgeries. 

Therefore, we call on the management of the New Lakeside Stanground and New Queen Street surgeries to immediately address the access issues we face and improve the appointment availability for patients. Our health, our livelihoods and our lives count on this essential service improvement.

Please, we urge you to sign this petition and amplify our call for better GP appointment accessibility at these surgeries.
