Subsidised or free benefits for all NHS staff while working

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

Most NHS staff are required to pay for parking at their place of work, this should be either free or in cases where this is not possible in places like central London be subsidised. Also small things like free tea and coffee at work and even a free Christmas meal to look forward to.
These are benefits that a lot of private companies would offer their staff without the need to petition, and for many years were also available to NHS staff. In light of the current situation and the great work by the NHS staff wouldn't it just be a nice thing to do?

Why it was rejected

There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.

Staff facilities are a matter for individual NHS trusts, not the UK Government or Parliament. You could start a petition calling on the Government to provide additional funding for NHS trusts to provide improved staff facilities, if that's what you'd like to happen.
