Increase National Insurance by 0.2% to increase the pay of frontline NHS Staff.
According to the The Kings Fund there are 948,177 frontline staff working in NHS England classed as Doctors, Other Clinical Staff & Support to Clinical Staff. A modest but deserved increase to their salary could be funded by increasing NI by only 0.2%.
Due to the pandemic these workers deserve a little more. With a median salary of £31,461 across the UK's 24,000,000 workforce, a 0.2% NI increase (14% rate) would generate approximately £43.92 per worker and a total of about £1B in revenue. The would allow the country to give these 948,177 Doctors, Other Clinical Staff & Support to Clinical Staff and extra £1,000 each in their salary to say 'Thank You'. There should be enough money generated to also cover Scotland, Wales & Nothern Ireland.
