What the petition asks
The government need to invest more money into the NHS and give staff substantial pay rises. The Covid-19 outbreak has shown that the nhs genuinely deserves more recognition than it has ever been given in the past.
Through the Covid-19 outbreak the NHS has proven how invaluable they really are, they don’t get nearly enough credit for what they do, even before the outbreak. I truly believe that the actions and sacrifices of NHS staff during this pandemic need to be rewarded, not just through the outbreak but for the future too, from Dr’s & nurses to drivers, porters and security staff, each and everyone of them have sacrificed so much to help the country, it’s time to acknowledge this sacrifice.
