Make all NHS staffs salaries tax free for three months

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

All salaries should be paid in full during the Corona virus pandemic to support frontline staff and their families.

NHS staff work on the frontline and risk their lives to save and care for others. They put themselves last and carry out their duties no matter what is thrown at them. They work long hours, tirelessly caring for their patients and supporting families and others. The list we can do as a society is show our appreciation and gratitude for this selfless service they give.
