Rejected petition Increase NHS pay for all staff to a minimum £25,000. A SKILLED workforce.
Review the pay structure within the NHS & increase the pay to a minimum £25,000. This is NOT an UNSKILLED workforce.
Our country has stood by each other in one of the toughest times, will the government stand by the people and especially the NHS and recognise the true hero’s of our country?
More details
Many workers within the NHS are working for much less than £25,000. Not too long ago the Prime Minister announced an unskilled worker is anyone earning under this amount.
Recently it has been highlighted how important and thankful we are to the NHS and all employees are far from unskilled.
It’s time we the people show the NHS our appreciation and the government should recognise this too.
