Fund free Travel, Parking, Hotel & Childcare during COVID-19 for NHS staff

Closed 227 signatures

What the petition asks

Support our NHS staff, who are working tirelessly with a reduced staff and risk to their own health, by providing free Parking, free Travel, free hotel accommodation when needed and free Childcare support.
By offering free parking it will enable NHS staff to travel to work without worrying about catching the Coronavirus on public transport, it will give them more flexibility if they are working longer hours when the trains are on a reduced timetable and remove one financial worry.

By increasing the demands of our NHS staff we also expect them to cover the financial implications of additional childcare, travel and accommodation. It’s time to financially support our NHS staff on the front line.
