Make March 26th a recognised standing ovation

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Show recognition for those within the NHS for their contributions to us as a nation

Because it was today the the world stood still in unity and appreciation for all those within the NHS putting themselves at risk for our nation.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We understand that you want the Government to acknowledge the role of the NHS, but it's not clear exactly what you want the Government to do. The Government is not responsible for organising standing ovations.

We have started a petition calling on the Government to create a new Bank Holiday in recognition of the NHS and all its amazing workers, which you might like to sign: Create a new Bank Holiday in recognition of the NHS and all its amazing workers.

We have also started a petition calling on the Government to award Covid-19 medals to all emergency services and involved armed forces, which you might like to sign: Award Covid-19 medals to all emergency services and involved armed forces
