Current status: Rejected
Rejection code: honours (see below for details)
Formally submit a recommendation to the Queen to honour each every NHS worker.
Bypass the normal process of submissions being put to the honours committee. Instead, have the Prime Minister submit an overall recommendation for all NHS workers to be honoured to the Queen.
The criteria for awarding honours is 1. Made achievements in public life; 2. Committed themselves to serving and helping Britain. The footnote goes on to say that ‘They’ll usually have made life better for other people or be outstanding at what they do.’
I believe that in the current circumstances with the battle against COVID-19 and the overwhelming strength and commitment shown by the NHS workers, each and every one of these dedicated workers should be honoured appropriately.
