Create an Award for Health Workers that saved the UK during the COVID-19 Crisis
Special Recognition for health workers who have put in ridiculous hours and effort to help the vulnerable in our society during the COVID-19 crisis
The COVID-19 Crisis is unprecedented. Few of us remember such a situation in our life time. We WILL get through this - and that is because of the sterling work of our emergency and medical services
As such, given the overwhelming odds and workload these people have had to endure, we the people are asking Parliament to approve measures to reward Health Workers et al with some form of public recognition that will stay with them for their entire life. Be it a medal, or a special award.
