Raise the wages of all healthcare workers in the UK
Wages should be raised for all NHS staff.
The average salary of an RN (registered nurse) is £24,816 (as per payscale.com), making it well below the national average which is somewhere around the £30,000 mark. This should not be the case. ALL NHS staff do such a fantastic job caring for us nationwide, many times putting their own lives at risk just to help us. Amid the current Covid-19 pandemic, the need for the NHS has never been more publicised, and I think now is the perfect time for the public to get behind this petition.
