Link MPs and ministers’ pay awards to NHS workers by allowing IPSA to set levels

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

I want each pay award given to MPs and Ministers to be mirrored in pay awards to all NHS staff. Now that Westminster’s pay awards are independently awarded by IPSA, we should also depoliticise pay in the health sector.

This would avoid the is unseemly optics of MPs cheering defeating a 1% below inflation rise for nurses only to have an above inflation 3.1% rise awarded to them. This way, the regularly lauded essential workers of the health sector would be rewarded in line with the policy makers.

Why it was rejected

There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.

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