Rejected petition Make 26th March National NHS Appreciation Day

Due to the overwhelming response of the British public with the 8pm clap along, we would like to make it official that this day, every year henceforth, should be christened National NHS Appreciation Day.

More details

The NHS is the foundation of our great nation. Through this horrendous Coronavirus ordeal, all the staff have pulled together to not only try and save as many lives as possible, but also put their own lives in danger for the wellbeing of our whole nation.

If these heroes don't deserve a day of appreciation, no one does.
