Closed Pay a £10,000 Covid-19 'Thank you' bonus to all health and social care workers

Closed on

Pay every front line health & social care worker, NHS & private sector, a £10,000 one-off Covid-19 'Thank you' payment, for putting the lives and health of the public before their own safety. It is appropriate action that shows that the country TRULY appreciates that #notallheroeswearcapes.

I don't agree with a 1% pay-rise for our NHS heroes who put our lives before their own. The UK government has spent £230 BILLION supporting businesses & jobs. People on universal credit have had a £20 & those on working tax credit will now receive a £500 one-off Covid-19 payment.

How about EVERY front line health & care worker getting a one-off £10,000 Covid-19 'thank you' payment? At 650,000 people that would cost the tax payer £6.5 billion, a mere 2% of the amount spent supporting business!
