Establish a day for the NHS/Key workers to celebrate Britain at its best
2020 Is a year nobody will forget for the foreseeable future, the dedication from all walks of life is phenomenal in the effort to keep this country running as best as possible, I believe we should have a day/date/bank holiday to commemorate the staff that have been working the front line in the NHS
Establish a day/date/bank holiday to commemorate the NHS and all staff that have been working the front line to keep this country running through these unpredictable times, the country has started a clapping theme to salute these key workers and an army within themselves, all risking there own lives in there own ways to keep people safe and alive.
