Free public transport for health & social care staff during coronavirus crisis
Rejected
21 signatures
What the petition asks
Health care and social care staff should be entitled to free public transport during the coronavirus crisis to ensure that patients have the care they need in the right place, at the right time, delivered by the right person.
During this unprecedented crisis, it is vital that we support our NHS and social care staff in any way that we can. Whilst public transport is not ideal to contain the spread of coronavirus, the reality is that many NHS and social care staff rely on it to get to work and visit patients in their own homes.
