Give ALL NHS England staff a £500 bonus for their hard work during the pandemic.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

We want the government to give all NHS England staff a £500 bonus as reward for their hard work during the covid-19 pandemic.
During the briefing tonight (25/1/21) the government was asked if NHS England staff would get a bonus, like Welsh and Scottish NHS staff already have. In a round about way, the government responded that they wouldn't, as it wasn't what NHS staff wanted. How would they know what we want? Of course we want a bonus! Claps don't pay the bills, and we have all worked so hard, and sacrificed so much during this incredibly difficult time, do we not deserve any reward or recognition?!
