Rejected
18 signatures
What the petition asks
Our NHS and Ambulance staff do this work because they care about others, but this crisis is putting them into a position of not only endangering themselves, but also their families. This petition is about recognition of the sacrifice they make each and every day
We are asking our Government and Parliament for a much more powerful public statement beyond just clapping or drawing pictures in the window. You must do something to truly help our NHS and Ambulance staff hear your true support
