More details
If it wasn't for the care and hospital services infrastructure in the UK, thousands of innocent people would have died from Covid-19. It's time to recognise their efforts as well as police officers and teachers.
Care workers and hospital staff have worked day and night to keep us safe.
Do what is morally right and let them enjoy this reward. They more than deserve it.
