Petition Keep Covid tests free for all NHS staff members

More details
As Government plans to "live with Covid" come into force, free lateral flow tests (LFTs) will no longer be widely available - care home residents and staff, hospital patients, and other vulnerable groups will still have access to free LFTs, however NHS staff members were not on the list of people entitled to free tests.
In order to keep those in hospitals safe, the Government must ensure that all NHS staff members are entitled to free NFTs for the foreseeable future.
