Rejected petition Forgive student loan debt for doctors, nurses, and health professionals in UK

It would be a small gesture from government to reward the health professionals by write-off their student loan debts for health-professionals who have put their life's on line for all of us.I would like the government to write-off the their debt as token of appreciation.

More details

I have seen many of these brave health professionals as friends who have left their families behind and fighting the invisible enemy at the forefront of this war. It is so frustrating for me and many people like me that cannot directly contribute, help and reward these brave health professionals. I thought if we can do that through the government by forgive their student-loan debts, it would be similar to us are doing so as this will ultimately comes from the tax payers pockets.
