Rejected petition Honour Captain Thomas Moore by naming a newly built hospital after him
The first new hospital to be named after Captain Thomas Moore. I feel that this would be a fitting tribute to this wonderful man who has shown true British grit and determination.
More details
Captain Thomas Moore has single handedly raised millions for our NHS. He has also raised the moral and spirits of a whole nation and of those beyond these shores. I ask that the first new hospital, as promised by the Conservative Government, be named after this remarkable gentleman. This would be a fitting tribute to this wonderful man who has shown true British grit and determination. The announcement of this would I am sure raise the moral and spirits of the whole nation even further.
