Reward all NHS staff dealing with Covid 19 with a 10% increase to their pay.
In recognition of the self sacrifice, dedication and work ethic of NHS staff such as our nurses, infection control specialists, doctors and health care assistants to name just a few, the pay of our NHS staff must be boosted immediately as a thankyou for their incredible service to the nation.
As a nation, we are now gripped by a severe Covid 19 pandemic. All UK citizens young and old are reliant on the professionalism of our NHS staff to help us get through this terrible time. We genuinely respect, admire and need our health service staff more than ever and want to offer our thanks via an increase to their take home pay. That is the least we can do to show our gratitude.
