Financial compensation for all NHS workers during the COVID-19 pandemic
NHS workers are being tested to their maximum, and the COVID-19 pandemic has not even reached its peak on the UK shores. Their current salaries are insufficient, and during this difficult time they should know that they are being looked after financially.
Because NHS workers - Drs, nurses, cleaners, receptionists, all of them - are risking their health in order to treat people at their darkest hour, and the least we can do is let them know how much we appreciate them. And not with 'thoughts and prayers' or tweets of support, but in putting cash in their pockets to let them know very clearly how necessary and appreciated they are.
