Make student finance available for second degrees in paramedic science

What the petition asks
The Government should amend legislation granting access to student finance in order that Paramedic Science is classified alongside the other allied health professions and is therefore an ELQ exception degree, so that funding is available to those who already hold a degree.
This will enable more people to enter into the Paramedic profession, which is currently undermanned. It will also give equality for paramedic students with the other healthcare degrees such as nursing, midwifery & allied health professions. This will also bring it the legislation up to date, reflecting the change in funding support that has happened since the ELQ exception legislation was passed.
