Award a Coronavirus medal to all NHS employees.
Award a medal to all NHS employees who have worked during the Coronavirus outbreak, potentially exposing themselves, their families and others, in order to help the nation defeat the threat of Coronavirus.
Because our NHS staff have traditionally requested nor received formal recognition for their efforts in facing up to looking after the health of the nation, even during times of staff shortages, government austerity etc. They are now facing up to the gravest threat the NHS has ever dealt with, with extreme courage, bravery and professionalism in order that the country may be spared huge losses.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.
You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
You may wish to sign these petitions calling for the same action.
