#ProtectNHSworkers
MPs pledge to ensure the protection of healthcare workers during the COVID-19 crisis
Over 200 health and social care workers have died from this deadly virus. We have asked MPs to put aside their political differences and take urgent action to address gaps that are putting lives at risk. Here’s who responded to our call.
I pledge to #ProtectNHSworkers by giving them the support and protection they need to fight the spread of the coronavirus.
To do this, I commit to these 5 demands:
- Regular access to healthcare worker testing
- PPE for all healthcare workers in line with WHO standards
- Death-in-service benefit for all NHS staff
- Sick pay for locum healthcare workers
- Hospital accommodation for those living with vulnerable people
