Why are we not able to actually use NHS Walk in Centers any longer? Have you had this problem out of surgery hours? Everyone now has to call 111 whereby a virtual inexperienced call handler asks a multitude of questions and based on your response decides whether or not you can talk to a professional!
I have recently experienced this when my Granddaughter was poorly. All we wanted was some re-assurance and advice to be told someone would call back in an hour!!!! We waited for 2 and a half hours! We could have taken her to a Walk in Center and waited. Instead we had to take her to A & E which was full of parents with extremely distraught children and babies desperate for help!
This was putting extra pressure on the hospital and their staff!! How can this help anyone? Please please sign my petition to enable this to be debated in the House of Commons.
We the undersigned request re-instatement of all NHS Walk in Centers.
This will take pressure off already stretch medical staff at Hospitals countrywide, but equally as important give parents and all others the right to medical help without having the added trauma of having to call an inefficient and ineffective 111 Call Center.
