Call on Blackpool MPs to demand urgent COVID-19 testing for frontline NHS staff

Petition Details

Blackpool residents call on Scott Benton MP and Paul Maynard MP to demand from the Government urgent COVID-19 testing for all frontline NHS staff who are putting their lives at risk everyday in this pandemic.

Additional Information

Only 2,000 NHS front line staff have been tested, that’s around 0.4% of front line staff. This needs to urgently change and we need to follow the World Health Organisation advice and ‘Test Test Test’.
