During lock-down the Government should pay for all NHS staff's travel expenses.

What the petition asks
Whilst non-key workers are self isolating, I believe that it is an injustice that NHS staff are required to continue paying for travel to and from work during lock-down. I believe that a sensible compensation would be for the government to subsidise all travel expenses.
Whilst non key workers are either being paid full or 80% of their wages to self isolate and engage in minimal work in a safe environment, it is apparent that NHS do not have this liberty. NHS staff continue to work on the front line whilst risking health of themselves and family. The fact that staff continue to pay travel expenses is an extreme example of financial inequity.
