Rejected petition Subsidised or free benefits for all NHS staff while working

Most NHS staff are required to pay for parking at their place of work, this should be either free or in cases where this is not possible in places like central London be subsidised. Also small things like free tea and coffee at work and even a free Christmas meal to look forward to.

More details

These are benefits that a lot of private companies would offer their staff without the need to petition, and for many years were also available to NHS staff. In light of the current situation and the great work by the NHS staff wouldn't it just be a nice thing to do?

Why was this petition rejected?

There’s already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.

You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.

Staff facilities are a matter for individual NHS trusts, not the UK Government or Parliament. You could start a petition calling on the Government to provide additional funding for NHS trusts to provide improved staff facilities, if that's what you'd like to happen.
