Link pay rises for nurses and junior doctors to annual benefit increases

What the petition asks
Legislate so that the pay award for junior doctors and nurses is never less than the increase given to pensioners and other benefit claimants.
This year as a pensioner I received a 10.1% increase in my State Pension and other benefits were increased by the same rate. To continue to receive that benefit I need only stay alive yet the NHS pay deal means that many nurses and doctors have been offered only half that amount.
