Requisition private hospitals to help fight coronavirus

Rejected 14 signatures

What the petition asks

The NHS is fighting to save our loved ones and we need to put profit and greed aside and pool resources to help eradicate covid 19. Our NHS workers are on the front line battling against this deadly virus and need all help thay can get to fight the war on Coronavirus.

The government takes charge in times of war and now it needs to step up and take charge in time of crisis. The country needs to unite and fight this virus together without putting profit margins first. You can't put a price on people's lives and the government needs to lead the nation in coming together and show what humanity can do during this extraordinary time of crisis. The requisition of private hospitals would help the NHS deal with ever increasing patients and hopefully save lives.
