Please give the NHS Covid Heroes a bigger pay rise.

Closed 274 signatures

What the petition asks

Please review and change the recent government recommendation of only a 1% pay increase for NHS staff in England. The NHS staff are true heroes and they should receive an adequate pay rise.
The NHS staff are true heroes and they should be eligible for an adequate pay rise. They have been and they are still on the frontline to protect us and the whole country. In other countries all health workers expect to receive more than a 1% pay rise! It’s a shame on Britain and the British Government.
