Re-open all Nightingale hospitals to treat Ukrainian wounded people.

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

The situation regarding the Ukraine conflict has become far worse, it is only a matter of time before they are overwhelmed with casualties. The RAF could supply airlift from Poland to RAF Northolt and ferry wounded to hospitals. The Army Medical Reserves could be deployed to help treat the wounded.
The Ukrainians are being subjected to cluster bomb and artillery bombardment, their hospitals will soon be overwhelmed. This measure helps relieve the pressure from them. The RAF airlift capability will allow transport with MERT elements. They can be housed temporary through the immigration system with removal of illegal immigrants overstaying in hotels.

The Russians simply do not care about civilian casualties, there is a humanitarian duty to care for wounded, the vulnerable and the young.

Why it was rejected

There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.

You may wish to sign this petition which calls for a similar action: Offer transport to the UK and healthcare to wounded Ukrainians

Deciding what action was necessary to increase NHS capacity to treat Ukrainian nationals would be an operational matter for the NHS, not a decision for the UK Government or Parliament.
