Reduce the tax burden on healthcare workers

Background

Reduce the tax burden on NHS healthcare workers and private staff supporting NHS services to improve retention, morale, and patient care during ongoing workforce shortages.

Additional details

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.
