Save Same Day Access to your GP Surgery

The local NHS (North West London Integrated Care Board) has announced plans to introduce ‘same day access hubs’ to triage patients seeking a same day appointment with their GP. This means that only residents with ‘complex long-term conditions’ will be guaranteed treatment by their own GP surgery.

Petition to the North West London NHS

We, the undersigned, call on the local NHS to retain the link between patients and their GP surgeries and consult fully on their proposals to introduce 'same day access hubs'.
