What the petition asks
Provide Hospitals with extra funding specifically to provide free meals, sandwiches and drinks to Drs, Nurses, Paramedics, Clinical Support Staff, Technicians and Cleaners whilst on Shift.
In the relentless fight against Coronavirus admissions, NHS staff are working tirelessly to care for seriously ill Patients. Staff from neighbouring Trusts, or who would not normally work with such high need patients have been redeployed. My Husband is currently at the Oxford University Hospital, fighting Covid-Pneumonia. He has seen first hand the effort and the sacrifice staff make to care for the Patients. He is appalled that they have to pay for their meals during their shift.
