A public inquiry into why the NHS staff were not given appropriate PPE

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

We demand a public inquiry into why the NHS staff was stopped from wearing face masks and other items of PPE when the covid 19 threat started, a policy that lead to deaths of so many NHS workers.
Hundreds of NHS workers have lost their lives or have experienced the terrible covid-19 symptoms simply because the government made wrong policies and failed to provide them with appropriate protection. They did not have a clue about the virus so instead of being extra vigilant, they became extra lenient and forcibly made policies withholding PPE leaving them exposed to the virus. We demand that all those responsible should be given maximum Punishments so that it doesn’t happen again.
