Closed petition Increase pay for all NHS workers by 5%

Closed on 3 August 2022

We want the Government to pay NHS workers a more suitable salary for their efforts and skills. We would like the Government to increase all NHS workers wages by 5%. Despite the recent pay rise given to NHS workers, many feel they are not adequately paid or recognised.

The Government should increase pay for NHS workers as they deserve more and should be properly recognised for their efforts.

I recently spoke to an NHS nurse, who works in a school, and she explained that many of her NHS nurse friends were single mums and had to go to food banks in order to provide for her children. She also stated that if her husband didn’t earn the amount that he does then she wouldn’t have become part of the NHS.

The salary is one of the main factors that can put people off of becoming part of the NHS. By increasing their wages the NHS should become stronger and better staffed.
