I propose a national health service day to inc emergency services and care staff

Petition Details

To show national appreciation for what we have taken for granted for too long. NHS staff, emergency services and care staff have been absolute hero’s in what is unprecedented times, putting their lives on the line every day for others. A day should be set aside so we can celebrate their sacrifice.

Additional Information

To recognise their sacrifice. The recent national 8pm Thursday night clapping is great but once this is over, will be forgotten. We need an actual day set aside where we can show our appreciation.
