Give NHS staff a pay rise immediately after the Covid-19 pandemic has ended.

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

We want to see all NHS staff given a pay rise of at least 10% after the Covid-19 pandemic.
NHS staff have been risking their lives and the lives of their loved ones everyday during the Covid-19 pandemic to look after the nation. Some NHS staff have even been separated from their families, staying in alternative accommodation to continue to care for the sick.

We want to see all NHS staff, from cleaners to porters, admin to paramedics, nurses to doctors, given a pay rise of at least 10% to show how much we, as a nation, appreciate them.
