Exclude NHS staff from any future public sector pay freeze but include MPs.

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

It is understandable that we as a nation will be facing extraordinary financial difficulty due to the COVID-19 crisis.
A public sector pay freeze is understandable, however NHS staff must be excluded due to the amazing work they continue to do. MPs must however be included in future pay freezes.

You MUST ensure MPs are included in any future pay freeze to demonstrate we are all in this together. This has never happened before and is the right thing to do.
NHS staff have been underpayed for too many years and the incredible work they do must exclude them from any future pay freeze.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA) is responsible for deciding on MPs' expenses and pay. IPSA is independent of both Parliament and Government.
