Giving a small pay rise or a £500 bonus to just the NHS is not enough, we need to see real, long term help and benefits to all of those who worked in essential services during the pandemic and to show that working in dangerous situations has meaningful compensation.

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 provision, and associated repayment terms, of mortgages and other kinds of loans are a matter for individual lenders, not the UK Government or Parliament.

You could start a petition calling on the Government to fund tuition fees and living expenses for all public sector workers for a set period of time, if that's something you'd like to see happen.
