Petition for Better NHS GP Access and Reduced Waiting Times in Quinton

Target: NHS England & Birmingham and Solihull ICB

Residents across Quinton are waiting too long to see their GP. As a practising doctor and ward councillor, I know first-hand how urgent this issue is.

Long waiting times, difficulty booking same-day appointments, and inadequate primary care capacity are affecting the health and wellbeing of Quinton families. I am calling on NHS England and the Birmingham and Solihull Integrated Care Board to increase GP capacity, reduce waiting times, and ensure every Quinton resident can access timely primary care. I will be submitting this petition alongside my advocacy work through the RCGP.
