- 3,831 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 28,071 - 2,319 added in the past 24hrs)
Members of the emergency services may regularly work overtime and sometimes do not have the choice but to work it because it may be an aid requirement or jobs may run over. We think that any overtime worked should not be taxed or subject to national insurance

Do not stop transgender people from receiving care in mainstream hospital wards
