Motion text
That this House supports the Sunday Mirror Reward frontline heroes campaign calling for a scheme to reward health and care workers for their selfless dedication and commitment in the battle against covid-19; recognises their unstinting dedication and determination, often going well beyond the call of duty, and putting stress and strain on themselves and their loved ones; pays tribute to all health and care workers who have tragically died in the line of duty as a result and expresses our heartfelt sympathy for their families and friends; believes that the Government should compensate these bereaved families; recognises that many health and care workers are shamefully low paid; believes that they are the new modern heroes; and calls on the Government to introduce immediately a pay supplement to reward health and care workers during the period of the crisis as a way of recognising the nation's gratitude; and further calls for this to be followed by a national review of the remuneration system for the whole health and care sector to establish rates of pay based on the principles of social justice.
