Give all NHS front line staff an extra week's holiday for dealing with COVID-19
Give all front line NHS staff (including cleaners) an extra week's paid annual leave for their work on dealing with COVID-19.
Our NHS front line staff have been working tirelessly to get COVID-19 under control, working long hours and putting themselves at great personal risk for the good of our society. When the virus is under control, they should be given an extra week's paid annual leave as a token of gratitude for their efforts and dedication, and to allow them time to recuperate.
