Rejected petition Requisition private hospital bed at cost price for use during the Coronavirus
Call on the government to make it mandatory for private hospitals to give over unused hospital beds and resources without charging to gain a profit (offering the bed at cost price). Private hospitals should be helping during this crisis not seeking profits out of such dark times.

The Spanish government have already implemented this, the UK should too.
