Test health staff for COVID19 to allow us to work more confidently & effectively

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Healthcare workers are worried and still want to work at the front line. Test us to find out who is immune so we can go to our patients with confidence. For those who are not immune give us enhanced protection or other roles. Extend to other key workers ASAP. Set us free to save you.

To save the lives of as many health care workers as possible and to improve their mental well-being during this time of crisis. After WW2 we needed the NHS. What a great service it has performed. Efficient, cost effective and great results. Now after years of cuts and less investment than needed by our people it is time for this government to profoundly improve the health and social capital of the nation. Set your health staff free by testing us, directing us to the right place to help you.
