PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
Frontline Support Package (26 April 2020)

That this House celebrates the NHS and care staff who are putting their lives on the line to look after people during the coronavirus pandemic; thanks them for their service and believes that the Government must look after them as well; regrets that many of them are being let down by a lack of proper protective equipment; and calls on the Government to properly recognise their service with a Frontline Support Package of personal protective equipment for all frontline workers; practical help with food deliveries, accommodation and transport; a Frontline Service Reward based on the same principle as the Operational Allowance for Armed Forces personnel; bereavement and funeral support; and a new Coronavirus Service Medal.
