Repatriate UK nurses who want to get home to support the NHS

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Schedule flights to help nurses get home and get back working in the NHS to provide care for people during this pandemic.
WE WANT TO HELP OUR COUNTRY.
I have took the decision to put my life here on hold here in Australia and return back to the UK to work in the NHS, I had a flight booked for 25/3 however, due to the new travel restrictions they have now all been cancelled with no clear information about when they will be rescheduled. I have started a group here in Australia to get UK nurses connected so we can try to get back to support the British people and return to NHS. Please help be signing this petition.
