Rejected petition Introduce a Government scheme to reward frontline NHS Staff and Key-workers
Frontline NHS Staff & Key-workers have been in the centre of a Nations crisis, protecting the vulnerable. Providing the highest care, during the COVID-19 outbreak.
As a government rewards scheme, an implementation of untaxable wages to the amazing NHS and keyworkers on the frontline.
More details
Following the COVID-19 outbreak, many NHS staff and keyworkers have worked overtime, and have essentially provided a great healthcare to the vulnerable and to the ones affected by the virus.
I am a Mental Health Support Worker and like others, will be paying more tax due to working more hours, and will be providing for family who have been struggling due to not being able to work.
Please help our NHS staff and Keyworkers during these difficult times.
