Waive fee for employees of the NHS who desire UK citizenship

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

Waive fee for employees of the NHS making citizenship and right of abode applications.

Non-UK employees of the NHS have worked hard, with compassion and facing personal risk, to support the UK population during the Covid-19 pandemic. Without their tireless support, healthcare in the UK would be overwhelmed. They have earned our respect and if they desire to remain and contribute to the UK then the financial barriers to them doing so should be waived.
