Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

Govt or Parliament should pass the law for NHS healthcare workers as above. If anyone healthcare worker dies during this war family should get full pension and other supports/benefit as like malitary soldiers receive for rest of the life.
Because NHS workers are fighting against deadly invisible enemy keeping their life at risk. Their families are under apprehension. We don't know yet and anticipate after COVID-19 what the world will be and how many scars would leave behind.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We understand that you want the Government to reward NHS workers, but it's not clear exactly how you want the Government to do this.

We have published the following petitions, which you might like to sign:

Incentivise NHS staff during the COVID19 outbreak by making wages untaxable: Incentivise NHS staff during the COVID19 outbreak by making wages untaxable

Increase pay for NHS healthcare workers and recognise their work: Increase pay for NHS healthcare workers and recognise their work

Fund increased death in service benefits for NHS staff who die during Covid-19: Fund increased death in service benefits for NHS staff who die during Covid-19

If you want the Government to provide additional tax exemptions for NHS workers, you could start a new petition stating clearly what you want these to be.
