Give all NHS staff working against COVID-19 a medal for their service
I believe that the people working in the NHS against COVID-19 should be awarded a service medal. They are the best of us and their brave service during this unique and incredibly challenging time should be recognized
We have a long history in this country of awarding medals to service men and women who fought for the survival of this country and for their fellow citizens. COVID-19 is another battle where again the bravest of us step forward to face the danger for the benefit of us all. I believe the staff of the NHS who have played a part in this fight should be awarded a medal to honor their service to the UK
