Rejected petition Include Domestics, Housekeepers, and Portering staff in the COVID-19 pay rise.

The Government should act to ensure that non-clinical staff are seen as valuable and essential members of the NHS. A pay rise for their actions during these difficult times would not only recognise their efforts, but also thank them for the risks they have placed themselves, and there families in.

More details

I have currently worked the last 20 weeks as a domestic on A&E helping out during these unprecedented times. Myself and other non-clinical staff have placed ourselves on the front line, and have all either put ourselves at risk of getting the disease, or have actually had it ourselves.
Domestics/ Housekeepers and Portering staff are some of the main non-clinical staff who’s jobs include transporting Covid Patients, cleaning their rooms and ensuring the patient gets food and drinks.
