Background

The Government should fund a national NHS Railcard to give NHS healthcare staff discounted rail travel. This card could be similar to existing railcards for young people, veterans and seniors.

Additional details

This would ease commuting costs, and, we believe, support NHS staff retention, and encourage public transport use.
