National NHS Appreciation Day

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

I believe especially now more than ever the NHS is paramount to us. Amid the covid 19 after we are out of this and we will be, a day to remember all the efforts our NHS staff and also key workers have done to keep this country running even when on breaking point.
A day to show our appreciation
I believe that the government should help due to late nights,overtime,non stop working and most of all their putting their life’s at risk before others. I always had known the NHS we’re doing a great job but now more than ever we need to show them we appreciate it so why not have a National day, party get together just something that would work but show that the government and the people care Thank you NHS
