Create a national holiday in commemoration of our NHS staff.
The NHS staff are our modern day saints. The current climate has pushed an uproar of support and appreciation for our NHS. We came together as a country to clap outside our doors to show respect for the hard working staff that keep us safe. We should celebrate their effort every year.
We celebrate the Saints in our Great British history annually. Our NHS has made history with the greatest effort in keeping our communities safe and healthy. A great sense of unity was pushed through the entire nation, with almost 20,000 retired NHS staff members returning to work to help our country fight Covid-19. Many have lost their lives in the fight. Their incredible effort and resilience has been heroic. We owe them our gratitude.
