We’ve asked MPs to back our Early Day Motion calling for an urgent pay rise and retention package for NHS staff to address the staffing crisis.
Please write to your MP asking them to add their name, and help us turn up the pressure for NHS workers to get the pay rise they deserve.

What you can say
-
- Ask them to sign EDM 199 calling for an urgent pay rise for NHS staff.
- If you work in the NHS you can speak about what it’s like at the moment, and what a pay rise would mean to you.
- Or if your or family members rely on NHS care, say why that matters to you.
Other points you could make:
- Staff shortages – better pay is needed to recruit and retain staff and ensure good patient care
- Fair pay – NHS pay has fallen more than private sector pay in recent years, and last year’s 3% pay deal was another real-terms cut
- Economic benefits – boosting NHS pay benefits the economy, as NHS staff live in every part of the UK and spend their money in local businesses
