The Country claps to show our appreciation for Carers across the Country every Thursday at 8pm. Now lets show our appreciation to ALL our Carers by helping them financially. We can do this by petitioning Government to provide them all with a lump sum bonus.

On 13th April 2020 Guardian journalists discovered that the UK government have missed 3 chances to join a €1.5 billion EU scheme to buy PPE (personal protective equipment) to protect health and social care staff working against coronavirus. Medical unions in the UK are currently warning that stocks of protective gowns are critically low. On 12th April the Royal College of Surgeons found one in three surgeons in the UK lack enough protective kit. On 11th April the British Medical Association warned that NHS staff are risking their lives because they still don't have proper protective kit. And the UK Royal College of Nursing currently has fears that nurses may not be able to work due to lack of PPE. This is putting medics in the impossible ethical position of having to choose between the care of their patients, and their own lives. And if more health and social care staff start to die this leaves fewer skilled people to care for those who are sick. Evidence from the frontline is clear that whatever our government is currently doing is not providing the NHS with enough protective kit for all staff who need this. This is clearly too big, and too urgent, for the UK to go alone. Please join me, as an NHS medic, in supporting this petition to ask our government to consider the will of the British people in deciding whether to join the EU PPE procurement plans, which we still can - to protect our healthcare workers, so that they can keep working to protect us all.

The NHS and care staff are putting themselves at the greatest risk and losing their lives to protect and save others who have fallen victim to the virus. They are now dying and this is having an increasingly demoralising effect on the staff when they are all scared and worried about their safety. We must honour and respect everyone who has fallen victim to this unprecedented global pandemic and we must put the humanity back into the statistics we are being given. We ask you as our Health leaders to avoid hiding information from us for the fear of scaring us. I'm a nurse and together with my colleagues we think about our risk every day. Losing a colleague will be absolutely devastating to us on the front line as it is to all our colleagues who have already lost their friends. Reading out their names is a very small step that has huge humanistic benefits for us in the health care sector and the whole population at this grave and dangerous time for us all. I also call on the government to call for a weekly minute silence for all the victims each Thursday evening alongside the positive expression of gratitude that is currently occurring.

Because they are overworked ,undervalued and they are our key brave frontline careers

The whole of the Country are behind our health and social care workers and we believe that the front line staff should have access to adequate PPE to perform their roles with the highest level of protection.

MANORLANDS is facing closure within months due to a funding crisis. Sue Ryder, which runs the Oxenhope hospice, says income has dried-up because of the coronavirus pandemic. The charity, which relies on public donations to maintain its services, has had to close its shops and cancel fundraising events. Now, with a potential funding gap of £12 million over the next three months, Sue Ryder is warning that without immediate financial support it will be forced to shut its hospices and stop providing its other end-of-life services. “During this particular period it should be providing 100 per cent funding – and then looking to the future, covering at least half the running costs of our hospices.”

Randox received £23 million in public funds through Invest NI in 2018, and benefited from a research partnership with our two universities QUB and UU. Now they are selling at an extortionate price (£120 per test) at a time when people are worried about food and job security and how they'll keep a roof over their heads. Meanwhile our NHS is struggling as they don't have enough tests so that key healthcare professionals can continue to do their vital work on the frontline of the fight against this global pandemic. Demand that Randox releases the Covid-19 tests free of charge to the NHS and stops profiteering from this crisis.

With the spreading of the Coronavirus at frightening levels across the UK at the present time and with the fact that those in Dunfermline and surrounding areas at present need to travel 15 miles to either Kirkcaldy or Edinburgh for A and E services and the fact that with the rapid spreading of the Coronavirus that this puts a totally unacceptable disadvantage to the people of fife needing emergency treatment the First Minister and the Cabinet Secretary for Health should take immediate steps to reopen a full A and E service at Dunfermline's Queen Margaret Hospital that should Never ever have been closed in the first place!

To let health care workers across the nation know how much they are appreciated all the time not just in times of need.

People experiencing homelessness are much more likely to have underlying conditions than the rest of us, putting them at grave risk from the coronavirus. Millions of us are currently self-isolating at home. But you can't do that on the street. And with shelters closing up because they’re unsafe, there’s nowhere for homeless people to go. But there’s an answer. Brighton’s tourist hotels are sitting empty, their employees’ jobs at risk. Their self-contained rooms are the perfect place for homeless people to stay during this unprecedented crisis. The Council must take over the hotels and use them to take every homeless person off the streets immediately. This petition is by John Hadman (and David Thomas) on behalf of Brighton & Hove Housing Coalition.

We dont want our doctors dying as they have in italy from exposure to this virus due to inadequate ppe. 13 doctors in italy have died and 2,600 health care workers are infected. WHO have said that the kit our workers have is grossly inadequate.
