Rejected petition ABOLISH the NHS Surcharge for ALL Foreign Hospital and Healthcare Workers!

The heartfelt hope that common sense, honesty, decency and morality has not completely disappeared from our political arena.
CLAPPING IS NOT ENOUGH! Remove the surcharge on our Foreign NHS Doctors, Nurses and Care Home workers. We are all the poorer if we let this travesty of justice to continue.

More details

Our healthcare workers come from all over the globe to work in the most respected and trusted system in the world. Yet these invaluable members of our community & their families are subject to a visitor visa surcharge.These people are not visitors! They are the backbone of our short staffed healthcare system and have been since the NHS came into being. Yet government taxes them & their families to use the very services they are literally dying to run FOR US!
