Provide NHS staff with the best protective equipment to safely fight Covid-19.
I want the government to do everything in their power to equip NHS staff with adequate equipment (proper masks, protective suits etc) to protect them from the increased viral load from caring for people with Covid-19.
If NHS staff are not adequately protected then they run a high risk of serious illness and death themselves in the line of duty.
The NHS needs all staff healthy and available to work. We must protect them so that they can look after us when we need it.
Thank you NHS!

Advice on the use of personal protective equipment is a matter for Public Health England, not the Government or Parliament.
