Student debt forgiveness for all NHS staff
In the current national crisis, nurses, doctors and other NHS staff are under extreme pressure. Not only are they caring for our loved ones who are falling ill to coronavirus, but they are also subsequently falling ill themselves. Many of these NHS staff have student debts, some totalling over £50k.
We call on the government to give student loan debt forgiveness for all NHS staff.
