What the petition asks
Individuals that are working in hospice settings and providing care at home under hospices currently do not have access to regular testing even though they are providing critical care for those with life limiting conditions/illnesses, the same individuals that are on the government shielding list.
In a bid to protect staff and the critically vulnerable from Covid and to also prevent the spread of the virus amongst this community.
