Pause NHS Neighbourhood plans, protect local GP surgeries & hold consultation — 425 signatures. Status: closed.

Petition background

Pause the rollout of Neighbourhood Health reforms. Hold a full public consultation, publish detailed implementation plans, commit to protecting GP surgeries, and formally commit to and guarantee that no contracts will be handed to private companies or overstretched hospital trusts.

Additional details

We are concerned that the reforms could: Lead to closing or merging local GP surgeries End continuity of care with family doctors Force patients to travel further for appointments Bankrupt GP practices and force them shut as warned by the BMA Hand contracts to struggling hospital trusts or private firms Risk longer waits, poorer access and loss of trusted local care for patients We call for an immediate pause, a full public consultation, protection for GP surgeries, and for the Government to formally guarantee that contracts will not be handed to private companies.
