Allow all non-UK NHS workers to become UK citizens for free

What the petition asks
The Government should enable immigrant NHS workers to live freely in UK without visa by allowing them to become UK citizens for free.
It costs over £2,000 for NHS workers to apply for ILR after spending 5 years in UK and then over £1,000 to apply for Naturalisation. This is too much for people who worked so hard during the pandemic. They should be honoured for their brave work.
