Provide PPE for NHS Frontline Staff
Provision of Personal Protective Equipment to all NHS Frontline Staff who need it who are currently fighting the Covid 19 Pandemic in our hospitals and communities.
Provision of Personal Protection Equipment for the NHS Frontline Staff needs to be accelerated as an immediate national priority – these are the health professionals working round the clock, and risking their own health, to care for the very ill. And if they too are struck down with the virus, it will compromise the work of the NHS at this most critical time.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.
You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
You may wish to sign this petition calling for the same action: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/304243
Advice on the use of personal protective equipment is a matter for Public Health England, not the Government or Parliament.
