What the petition asks
On the wake of increasing transmission rates with new variant 'Omicron', it is very important to prevent the NHS from overwhelming. The role of overseas staff which includes Vaccinators, Nurses, GP's, admins is crucial during this times.
There is huge shortfall of staff to deliver the services effectively. Many have faced stress and pushed themselves to the limit to treat and look after the community. It is the responsibility of the government to look after overseas staff and make their lives little easy by granting extension for free. Overseas staff are overlooked and include all the staff to run the vaccination roll out effectively.
