This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament
Rejected petition Increase the rate of pay for NHS nurses.
NHS nurses carry an immense amount of responsibility whilst caring for people’s lives. They often work unsociable hours under stressful conditions and look after people when they are at their most vulnerable. They deserve to be paid more to reflect this.
More details
It has taken Covid-19 to remind everyone just how important the NHS is and it has long been felt that nurses deserve to be paid more. It is therefore very important that this petition is put forward now to ensure that nurses and the vital work they do every day are not forgotten in the future.
