Put all current working front line NHS staff on Furlough after we win this fight
I would like the Government to: After we defeat Covid-19 or get contamination down to a manageable level, put on a staggered rota basis, all currently working front line NHS staff on Furlough on 80% Pay for 12 weeks.
The front line workers are hard working during normal conditions, these are exceptionally difficult times stretching all resources to the limit and beyond.
This would be a grand gesture by the government and the country as a whole, to show our appreciation and support.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Leave arrangements for NHS staff are an operational decision for individual NHS employers, not the Government or House of Commons.
