Text of Petition
They gave their lives to
save ours. We call on the Welsh Government to fund the funeral costs of all NHS
staff who die from or with Covid-19. The
average simple funeral costs £4000. We ask the Welsh Government to ensure that
bereaved families immediately have access to the funds to pay for funeral
costs.
