ALL NHS Staff, & Key Workers For Queens Medal following Corvid 19 Crisis
I would like the government to support the Issue of a Queens Medal to All NHS Staff and Keyworkers supporting the Corvid 19 Crisis. This would demonstrate a national acknowledgement of thanks from the Nation.
It would talk volumes to a group of staff who never receive any formal Queens medals.
This motion would not only demonstrate the nation and governments thanks to all NHS and Keyworkers durinmg this time of international crisis, but would also provide recognition to those working and supporting the nation during this time of crisis.
The NHS staff have never received medals such as other emergency services, the NHS were never recognised in the Queens Diamond Jubilee, where Police and Prison service staff received Medals.
Its time to show that we are proud and respect our NHS
