Petition Action

Name a hospital after the WW2 veteran, Tom Moore, for raising money for the NHS.

Petition Details

Name a hospital after Tom Moore, the 99-year-old WW2 veteran, who has managed to raise a staggering amount for the NHS during the pandemic of COVID-19, by walking 100 lengths of his garden. Due to his media output, he has managed to reach out to people all over the world to ask for their support.

Additional Information

Discuss and arrange a hospital, not a ward or a small facility but a fully operating hospital after Tom Moore, who I believe deserves to be 'Sir Tom Moore'. Also, some donations from those within the government to Tom Moore's charity would be nice to see.
