This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament
Rejected petition Provide FFP3 masks, goggles, and long sleeved gowns for nurses.
We call on the government to ensure that every nurse working on wards where there is coronavirus have full protective equipment. Change the recommendations to ensure proper protection is provided rather than the paper surgical, masks, gloves and a disposable apron which are not adequate.
More details
The lives of people working on our hospital wards must be valued.
We must show that they are valued not just be clapping but by ensuring that every effort is made to protect their lives while they do the important work that they do.
They are not expendable!!
