Rejected petition Add overseas NHS doctors and their families to the COVID travel exemptions list.

Add Overseas NHS doctors and their families to the COVID related travel restrictions exemption list

More details

Overseas NHS doctors have been serving the country non stop for the past 18 months. Some of us have lost their family members back home and some others could not visit their family members while they have been sick of COVID.
All of us live away from our loved ones. Now the new restrictions has put more countries on the red list which makes it impossible for NHS doctors to visit their families and also makes it impossible for their families to visit them from these countries.

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you are concerned about travel restrictions on NHS doctors and their families, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

Different travel exemptions apply to different workers, and it is not clear what arrangements you want doctors and their families to be exempt from. You can see existing jobs that qualify for travel exemptions, and the exemptions that apply, here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/coronavirus-covid-19-travellers-exempt-from-uk-border-rules/coronavirus-covid-19-travellers-exempt-from-uk-border-rules
