Give NHS and emergency service frontline workers a pay rise not just praise
Raise starting salaries of NHS and emergency frontline workers to the same amount as the cash grant maximum amount being given to employees and self-employed workers (£2500 per month, £30,000 per annum)
In times of crisis our front line NHS and emergency service workers again and again demonstrate their professionalism, heroism and dedication. We as a nation need to ask why we are paying these workers less than the government is prepared to pay to furloughed employees and self employed workers.
Paramedics starting wage - £24,025
Nurse starting wage - £22,128
Police officer starting wage £23,123
Proposal: Raise all starting salaries to £30,000 with corresponding increases up the pay scales
