Commission a Statue to celebrate the NHS on the empty plinth in Trafalgar Square
A statue should be commissioned to proudly and permanently celebrate the care, compassion, dedication and selflessness of all those who work for the NHS.
The statue should be accessible to all in the centre of the capital, and serve as a focal point for generations to come.
Never before have we relied so much on the Doctors, Nurses, Porters and Cleaners that make up our NHS. Each of these Husbands, Wives, Sons, Daughters, Brothers and Sisters are making incredible personal sacrifices to support their Communities and the Country as a whole through the COVID-19 pandemic.
Now is the time to recognise and respect them.
