Issue official recognition to NHS staff involved with the fight against COVID 19
Respectfully obtain permission from Her Royal Highness The Queen to authorise the Royal Mint to create a medal to be awarded to all frontline NHS staff and key workers directly involved in the national fight against COVID19
Serving military personnel are decorated for their bravery when serving the country on the frontline in the face of The Queens adversaries. COVID 19 ensures that since the inception of the NHS, it’s staff have never faced such danger. It is not the British military who the country look toward in the face of this national crisis, it is into the faces of every single person exposing themselves, every single day, to this novel virus which is as deadly as any adversary our military has ever faced.
