NHS staff to receive a bonus for their extra efforts and been absolute heros

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

I truly believe that all NHS staff from all sectors of the business that are bending over backwards and working all hours sent in this sad and uncertain time should receive a bonus gesture for all their extra hard work and efforts throughout this time.
I think that they should be rewarded by giving them a bonus as our appreciation to them. Most other sectors of business are getting the choice to leave work. To the NHS staff it's not an option.
