Rejected petition Make all health care assistants in hospitals a band 3

HCA’s in the Nhs are band 2, HCA’s are the most patient facing staff in the Nhs.
We are doing clinical observations that are not in our job description but without the willingness of HCA’s to do this the Nhs would struggle even more.

More details

As the national minimum wage rises to £9.50. The pay for a band 2 hca stays at around £10.18 an hour.
I call for all band 2 hca’s to be moved to a band 3

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

The NHS is responsible for decisions around pay bands for healthcare assistants, rather than the Government. You could start a petition asking the Government to review the pay of healthcare assistants more widely.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
