Issue medals to NHS staff, key workers and NHS volunteers.
Issue medals to those who are knowingly still doing their bit during the Covid19 crisis. NHS staff continuing to try to save lives on the frontline. Key workers are keeping Britain going, from police officers to teachers, train drivers to delivery drivers. NHS volunteers answered the call.
These people are willing to risk their own safety for the benefit of their neighbours and fellow countrymen. They have done so without moaning and when the government asked for more to join the struggle, with the plan of having 250,000 volunteers, 750,000 answered the call. These people deserve our thanks and what better way than a medal from our Queen and government?
