Hi..So far 35 nurses are thought to have died from Covid- 19. How can we hope to plug the gap heading to 100,000 nurses if we don't treat those from abroad with respect? As Polly Toynbee says: "Any hope the government takes this seriously enough is blown away by the sheer insanity of charging non-EU medical staff £624 a year for each member of their family for their right to be treated by the health service they support. It looks like a deliberate policy to deter those we most need. Besides, nurses’ pay starts at £18,000, well below the high bar of £25,600 set for the right to work here. Brexit saw the departure of thousands of EU staff." We're getting there. Nearly 2000 in 3 days. Please get your friends to sign up to the petition. We can win! Thank you for your support Alain
