Rejected petition Have an official bank holiday dedicated to our NHS!

I would like the government to launch an official "National NHS Bank Holiday" a day dedicated to the fantastic service and the fantastic staff that work for the NHS.

More details

The NHS have been supreme in this COVID19 situation and they deserve a day dedicated to the work they do, the memories of NHS staff lost in service just like we do with our military.
