Pay rise for all NHS staff who worked during covid-19

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

I want the government and/or parliament to issue a pay rise to all NHS staff who worked during the Covid-19 outbreak in the U.K.
After all they saved the prime minister

The government should issue a substantial pay rise for ALL NHS staff that worked during the covid-19 outbreak, they risked their lives when nobody should have to, without the NHS the U.K would have fallen to covid-19!

MP’s see pay rises each and every year and also get expenses paid which sometimes are well over £20,000 which is almost the same as what some workers In the NHS earn in a whole year.

Therefore I wish for all MPs to not take payrise or bonuses but instead show the NHS they matter
