Fund increased death in service benefits for NHS staff who die during Covid-19

What the petition asks
The Government should fund increased death in service benefits, such as a pension at the same level as the worker’s full salary, for the family members of NHS staff who die while undertaking their duties during the Covid-19 outbreak.
At present many NHS staff are working on the frontline fighting Covid-19 without the security of knowing that their family members will be financially protected if they die performing their duties.
