Would like to see Captain Tom Moore recognized for his fundraising now reaching over £5m for the NHS charities. As such feel a Hospital or Wing should be named in this recognition.

The man is someone who has given so much service to this country and he still does even at the age of 99 years and deserves to be thanked not only by the general public but also the UK government.
