Increase all NHS staff wages effective immediately

Rejected 17 signatures

What the petition asks

I want the Government to increase the wages by a reasonable amount for all NHS staff effective immediately in light of putting their own lives at risk working front line with life threatening viruses like Covid-19, MERS and SARS plus many others daily under massively increasing pressure

Sir Patrick Vallance is Government Chief Scientific Adviser (GCSA). He says about 60% of people will need to become infected in order for the UK to enjoy "herd immunity"

Sir Patrick described self-isolation as "really critical" and "a very key part of what can be done". Self-isolation means that you stay in your room and stay there for 14 days.

If all NHS staff were tested for COVID-19 and then followed the government own advise for self issolation this country would collapse.
