The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We understand that you want healthcare workers to be provided PPE, but it is not clear if this is intended to just apply during the current outbreak, or indefinitely. You could start a new petition stating more clearly the circumstances in which healthcare workers should be issued PPE.
