Rejected petition Raise wages for NHS Doctors, Nurses, and Paramedics.
Rejected on
To raise the wages of NHS Doctors, Nurses, and Paramedics.
The NHS is struggling due to staff shortages. Should the wage be increased to a respectable standard for our Doctors, Nurses and Paramedics, in line with the amazing work they do. We may encourage and invoke more interest for students/trainees to pursue a career in the NHS.
