Reintroduce EU Freedom of Movement to save the NHS

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

We want the government to seek and offer to reintroduce Freedom of Movement with the EU as they negotiate vital improvements to the current trade deal with the EU in the coming months and years.

Freedom of Movement has brought huge fiscal, economic, social and cultural benefits to the UK. Its loss has and will continue to erode the tax revenue and massively reduced the availability of qualified staff for the NHS..Restoring Freedom of Movement would be a key step to protect the NHS in the wake of Covid-19 and rebuilding a thriving country again after the crisis.
