Increase the pay for NHS workers fighting the Covid-19 pandemic.
The NHS staff are under immense pressure and unprecedented demands on their jobs as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. The government has pledged £330bn to support businesses, however, something should also be done to recognise the efforts and sacrifices being made by front-line NHS staff.
The government should consider increasing pay for the front-line NHS staff working directly on the Covid-19. These people deserve recognition.
