Reform Covid19 income support schemes to pay 75% of wages and give 5% to the NHS

Petition Details

As the government pledge to pay the 'out of work' 80% of their wage during this coronavirus pandemic, they should instead consider paying 75% of the wage and putting the other 5% into our heroic NHS.

Additional Information

As many will be out of work due to closures of businesses over the coming weeks and months, the govt. have said they will pay 80% of the wages to those who are effectively out of work during this time. Considering the current circumstances, including isolation and pub/theatre/club closures etc, we are likely to spend much less. Lets give 5% to our hard working NHS, risking their lives to save ours and our loved ones during this pandemic.
