Help to bring back/repatriate up to 500 medical staff in Australia back to UK.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Organise flights to bring back and/or repatriate up to 500 medical staff including nurses, doctors and paramedics from Australia to the UK to help with the current situation surrounding Covid-19 and our overloaded health system.

I've spoken to people in Australia who are now finding it impossible to get flights back over to the UK and would look to the government to maybe organise some emergency flights to get them back to the UK.
