This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament
Rejected petition I think a Hospital or Department should be re-named after Captain Tom Moore.
To name a department in a large UK hospital after Captain Tom Moore or even better incorporate a hospital with his name.
I think his positivity i.e. "the sun will shine again" is hope for us all in these uncertain times.
More details
Tom was only after £1000 for the national health service but his actions at his age has brought the country together to generate a fund of nearly 19 million (17/04/2020) this was by showing hope/determination and positivity.
I hope this gets discussed and I honestly hope this happens.
This man not only deserves a knighthood but this country deserves a reminder of hope.
