Petition Action

Create a new law that ensures NHS nurses are paid the national average wage.

Petition Details

Create a new law that will state that all NHS nurses will be paid no less than 10% less than the national average wage.

Additional Information

We the British people demand an end to the unfair and shameful lack of appreciation for NHS nurses.

We propose a new law that will ensure their kind nature will no longer be taken advantage of and they are paid fairly for their service to the people of the UK and NI.

We the British public view their work as some of the most important in the country and are appalled by current treatment and wages available to NHS nurses.

We regret not standing by them before and promise to in the future.
