Rejected petition Include NHS Ambulance & Nursing staff in payrises granted by the Chancellor 21/7

The government recently announced payrises to be granted to public sector staff-up to 3.1%.This covers NHS medical staff such as Doctors,Dentists,and Emergency Service workers such as Police,but has omitted Nurses and the Ambulance Service,who are on the front line & past rises haven’t met inflation

More details

The Ambulance Service &Nurses must be included in rises,given their role looking after our nation on the front line.Some staff have lived apart from their family to protect them whilst they fight Covid-19 at the forefront,many working additional hours under stressful circumstances and in difficult environments,some have even lost their lives to this virus.They are a key part of our public services and deserve equal treatment. Past rises have purely covered previous years where NO rise was given.
