Rejected petition Give NHS workers a substantial pay rise
Rejected on
The National Health Service is already underfunded as a result of recent government austerity measures. There is now an acute shortage of trained staff but workloads have increased for those still working in the service. This has led to a widespread stress and demoralisation among staff.
Such action can only be taken at national government level.
