Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Increase the salary of NHS sterile services technicians and supervisors to a band 3 and 4.
Sterile services technicians and supervisors in Scotland and wales are paid a salary band above England, Currently England employees are paid the same salary as porters.
Sterile services is a key facility enabling hospitals to operate, working under pressure to meet patients needs while maintaining a very high standard of practice. Employees are under immense pressure as mistakes put patients at risk, also staff handle contaminated instruments which also puts themselves at risk.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

Pay and conditions for NHS staff are a matter for the NHS, and the relevant trade union(s), not the UK Government.

You could have petition calling for more funding for sterile services staff in England.
