Free meals and refreshments for frontline NHS staff during coronavirus.
The hereby undersigned ask the government to implement free breakfast, lunch and refreshments in the workplace for frontline NHS workers battling the coronavirus crisis during this critical period.
This is a token of our gratitude and respect for their dedicated service to our communities ravaged by this disease. We feel that this will support critical staff who are facing enormous strain during a national emergency. We ask you to present this motion to the House, we support appropriate measures to fund this benefit and ask the government to adopt and expedite this measure.
