Rejected petition Give Health and Social Care staff at least a 20% Discount in fuel.

We need health and social care workers in domiciliary care to receive a discount in their fuel to enable them to be able to travel to their service users without costing them additional money.

More details

I am currently trying to run a small care company and we are struggling to retain staff or get new staff on board due to many reasons and this fuel price rise just tops them all. It is not sustainable for a small business to function economically without some kind of discount on the fuel. This will enable us to continue supporting the elderly and others to live safely in their own home. Otherwise it is likely this will force us and other care companies to shut down.
