Make #ClapForNHS an annual celebration on 26th March
Make #ClapForNHS an annual event on the 26th March each year to celebrate all staff working for NHS, including social workers, carers and other vital supporting roles. Mark this date in the government calendar and encourage members of the public to applaud the NHS every 26 March at 8pm.
In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the UK Government and general public should celebrate the hard working NHS staff and carers who have been the true heroes of keeping our country healthy during these challenging times. Everyone who works for NHS, everyone who carers for vulnerable people, keep this country moving. We are incredibly fortunate to have the NHS and each and every one of its members of staff who work tirelessly and thanklessly to look after us all.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We understand that you want the Government to acknowledge the role of the NHS, but it's not clear exactly what you want the Government to do. The Government is not responsible for organising annual celebrations.
We have started a petition calling on the Government to create a new Bank Holiday in recognition of the NHS and all its amazing workers, which you might like to sign: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/303882
We have also started a petition calling on the Government to award Covid-19 medals to all emergency services and involved armed forces, which you might like to sign: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/302613
