More details

These people, many of whom are in the lower pay quartile, have continued to work for the benefit of the nation as a whole in treating, caring and making premices safe.
As a gesture and to recognise this sacrifice, retracting the NHS fee for these people would show that we value their contribution in tackling this pandemic.
