Rejected petition A bank holiday in honour of our NHS staff to celebrate their tireless effort.

Back an official day of national celebration in honour of our wonderful health service, working to support hospitals and other key services to limit the numbers of staff on duty on this day. Small token our our national appreciation for our hard working health workers. Dependent on virus timescale.

More details

It has been recognised across the political spectrum the incredible lengths our NHS has stretched and will stretch to over the coming weeks. Whilst obviously a small concern at the moment, we should plan for and anticipate a day on which we can collectively celebrate the fortitude and bravery shown by many.
