Rejected petition Pay all NHS frontline nurse bank staff full sick pay when self isolating.

Frontline NHS bank staff who have to self isolate due to covid 19 currently receive just £94 statutory sick pay due to their zero hours contacts. We are risking our lives each time we go to work, at the very least we should get the equivalent of our average weekly pay whilst self isolating.

More details

Because we are risking our lives to care for others. The least we deserve is a fair amount of sick pay if we contract the virus.
