Pay NHS staff a one-off bonus that recognises their efforts to combat covid.

Closed 17 signatures

What the petition asks

Pay each eligible NHS worker an extra tax-free sum of £2,000 by October 2021.
Although the government finances may not yet support a substantial pay rise for NHS staff, their commitment and sacrifice during the covid pandemic deserves special recognition in the form of a one off tax-free payment to each eligible individual.
