Pay lunch breaks for all NHS staff

Petition Details

In the healthcare industry only doctors are being paid for their lunch breaks.
All other staff is not and this is happening not just in NHS but private sectors too.

Additional Information

The Royal College of Nursing recommends that nurses should be paid for their breaks but it's not going to happen unless we get helpfrom the Government or media. Nurses are being refused the rights to proper payment.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or House of Commons is responsible for.

Decisions about contractual terms and conditions for NHS staff is a matter for NHS England and individual NHS trusts, not the Government or House of Commons.

As a result it is not possible for the Government or House of Commons to take the action you have requested.
