Increase National Insurance by 5 pence to Increase Salaries for all NHS Workers

Closed 19 signatures

What the petition asks

It should not have taken the Coronavirus for the British people to support the NHS by clapping. I believe that an increase of 5 pence in national insurance should be made to create funds to increase NHS salaries. This should increase ALL workers and not for the maintenance of hospitals.
The money should go to doctors, nurses, cleaners and all the other amazing NHS workers. These funds should not be spent on private organisations who work in our NHS. I feel strongly that we should support all our NHS workers by giving them something back after doing such an amazing job in these unprecedented times.
