Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. We are not sure which tax you would like reduced for healthcare workers and by how much. You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.

Background
Healthcare workers face rising living costs, burnout, and staff shortages while delivering publicly funded care. This includes NHS employees and private or contracted staff supporting NHS services. Reducing income tax or National Insurance, or introducing tax-free overtime or higher tax-free allowances, would improve retention, recruitment, and patient safety.
