Restore the Pre-Covid GP Appointment System

The Issue

I have family and friends who find it nearly impossible to get to see a doctor within a reasonable timeframe.
The current system of ringing to get a call back for them to decide if they will see you is not fit for purpose.

When you manage to get an appointment, the surgeries are often empty of patients. This inefficient system is causing unnecessary stress and delays in receiving medical care. Resulting in people going

A & E at Hospital clogging up the hospitals with complaints that could have been handled by a GP

We need legislate to force them back to the pre-Covid GP appointment system where patients could book appointments directly and be seen promptly. Please sign this petition if you believe in restoring timely access to healthcare services.
