Award the NHS the George Cross for outstanding bravery in the face of Covid-19.
In the current circumstances, which are going to get much worse, the NHS is standing resolute. To go to work in the face of this unprecedented emergency, to care and cure, is taking outstanding courage. As the whole population of Malta was recognised in WW 2, so should the whole of the NHS.
Raise, through the Honours System, a recommendation to HM the Queen that the whole of the NHS be awarded the George Cross.
