Award George Cross medal posthumously to NHS staff to have died due to Covid19
Award the George Cross posthumously to all NHS and other care staff that have sadly died whilst caring for Covid19 patients during this difficult time.
I would like the Government to consider this as a national "Thankyou" and in recognition of the sacrifices made by our medical professionals across the UK during this unprecedented global emergency. I think that the bravery of these people should be officially recognised by the nation and that we all owe a great debt of gratitude to them when this situation is over.
