What the petition asks
Matthew Hancock MP, failed in his duty to protect NHS, Healthcare and Social Care staff.
He has failed to recognise the efforts of the NHS staff body by excluding them from the key-worker pay-rise.
He is proven by his destruction of PHE and appointment of Dido Harding. He must resign.

If you destroy the NHS through privatisation you will destroy the country and the health of everyone within it.
