What the petition asks
It’s generally accepted that NHS workers are underpaid for the jobs that they do. They are paid for with taxpayer money and they provide the services for which National Insurance is intended. COVID has shown us how important and dedicated these people are. Stop taxing their income.
I want the government to stop deducting Tax and National Insurance from our NHS doctors and nurses. They are worth more than they’re paid and the country is grateful for their service.
For any periods of employment with the NHS they should not be expected to pay Tax or National Insurance.
