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

The views of individual MPs are a matter for those MPs, not the Government or House of Commons.
