Award all NHS staff and care workers an honour or medal in recognition of duty
Award all NHS staff and care workers an honour or medal in recognition of the selfless sacrifice they are making and dedication to duty to keep us all safe and well during the coronavirus outbreak
The dedication of all these workers putting their own lives on the line whilst working extremely long shifts over the course of an indefinite period of time to try and protect and save the lives of others on a scale not seen since the 2nd World War should not go unnoticed.
It would be fitting and dignified to show our gratification and appreciation in the highest way possible by awarding them such an honour or medal.
