This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament
Rejected petition Give NHS hospital staff free on site parking & a free meal during the pandemic.
Stop charging NHS staff to park at work when they are saving lives. They should also be given at least one quality meal during each shift to help their wellbeing.
More details
NHS are at the front line of fighting this global pandemic. They are putting their lives at risk every day.
It’s outrageous that we are asking them to work long hours & additional shifts, then charging them to park on site.
In terms of food, providing a nutritious meal each shift will help keep these critical staff well during an unprecedented global crisis
