Implement a pay rise to all NHS workers

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

I feel that parliament should reflect our current crisis to the fact that all front line workers, Paramedics, nurse's etc should have a fair pay rise.

With the current pandemic, it's a shame that it has taken for this to happen for the NHS to be brought into the forefront of the government eye of praise, therefore a sensible payrise should be implemented to show government respect to the dedication of all NHS workers.
