Rejected petition A bank holiday on 12th May called Florence Nightingale Day to celebrate our NHS

To announce a new bank holiday preferably on 12th of May or the nearest Monday or Friday to that date if it falls on a weekend for Florence nightingales birth date.

More details

It will be a day to celebrate our amazing NHS and be thankful for everything they’ve done and do for our country. At present we go out and clap every Thursday but I think they deserve a day that everyone can celebrate each year and we can reflect on that day how our health is the most important thing in life and that the NHS are so appreciated by all of us for everything they do to keep us healthy.
