Rejected petition Forgive NHS medical staff student loans or give large bonuses after COVID-19.
Doctors and nurses in the NHS have selflessly put their lives on the line responding to the COVID-19 pandemic and so as a thank you for their service, all NHS medical staff should be given the option to have all their student loans forgiven or receive a bonus equivalent to at least 1 years’ salary.
More details
The UK is indebted to them and for that reason, the government should allocate money in its budget (aside current NHS funding) to compensate these workers when the COVID-19 pandemic is over.
