Petition Action

Give all NHS staff a significant and permanent payrise

Petition Details

We have always known the value of the NHS. The contributions and sacrifices they make for the welfare of our nation have been taken for granted for too long. I believe it is time that they are rewarded appropriately for their efforts, no NHS staff member should ever need to use a Foodbank.

Additional Information

It is time to start paying NHS staff properly by giving them a substantial payrise. I believe that this should be a permanent and protected wage rise. We politely demand that the subject of remittances for all members of the NHS are reviewed immediately and their wages are increased. Clapping them is a lovely idea, but now we need to unite behind them and pay them properly.
