Any rise is welcome.
This isn't enough at all, however a start.

I always felt once the government was at the point where it had to put its money where its mouth was.
Then there would be disappointment.

A lot of noise has been made by this government as to these workers and their incredible efforts and work during this pandemic.

However, once truly acknowledging that and their real worth, sadly the government has fallen well short.
If this had been announced as a start with more to follow within the next year or two.
That would have sounded a bit more reasonable.

The exclusion of Nurses, despite the changes agreed for them 2 years ago.
Is an absolute shameful disgrace.

Sadly, we do seem to heading back to the harder line business as usual now of this government.
