Current status: Rejected
Rejection code: honours (see below for details)
Make sure NHS staff receive recognition when the next round of awards are made.
Make appropriate awards to NHS and other front line staff when the next round of honours are considered. The honours system could be used to formally give the thanks of the nation to those who have risked their own lives and wellbeing for the sake of others.
There are many NHS staff, especially those in ICU departments who are going above and beyond the call of duty, working long hours and leaving family’s for days at a time to work. There is huge pressure and responsibility on the shoulders of the lead consultants. The nation should show its thanks in a tangible way by endowing many with awards when honours are considered.
