Why this petition matters
Started by Katharine Bailey
Matt Hancock needs to resign or be sacked from his position as Health Minister for various reasons. Some of these are:
- His part in the inadequate preparation of the NHS's systems to confront the pandemic (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/apr/19/government-under-fire-failing-pandemic-recommendations which has cost countless lives.
- Unacceptable delay in procuring PPE and test kits which has cost the lives of many NHS workers and their patients (https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/coronavirus-matt-hancock-ppe-nhs-health-secretary-doctor-death-lbc-a9487296.html
- His part in the delayed lockdown of the country, despite a pandemic declared by the WHO on March 11 and 55 people having died by March 16, thereby costing many lives
- Conflicts of interest: He has received payments from a think tank that wants to scrap the NHS (https://www.nhsforsale.info/conflict-of-interest/new-health-secretary-matt-hancock-accepted-32000-from-boss-of-think-tank-that-wants-to-scrap-the-nhs/
- His mixed and ambiguous messages, that have now become totally hypocritical in light of his support of Dominic Cumming's uncivic flouting of the government's lockdown, when thousands of people cannot travel to see loved ones or visit their dying relatives in hospital, which seem to say that the efforts by health workers and the majority of the population are meaningless.
In short, Matt Hancock's actions and words are inappropriate for anyone holding the position of Minister of Health. Fire him now!
