Give NHS staff a pay rise in line with MPs pay increase.

Rejected 284 signatures

What the petition asks

NHS should be given a pay increase of the same percentage that MPs receive on a yearly basis.
The NHS is underfunded, under equipped and under appreciated yet they are the backbone of the county and have now, more than ever, during the COVID 19 outbreak proven that they are the most hardworking and dedicated. They deserve to be paid accordingly!
