Create a bank holiday or celebration day to honour all NHS staff.

Rejected 17 signatures

What the petition asks

To create a day or bank holiday honouring the NHS staff who have helped this country 365 days a year since the creation of the NHS.

Because we as a country need to remember and honour those and currently working tirelessly around the clock caring for our people.

There should be concerts and festivals which in return generate income for the NHS and boost morale for the working force of the NHS.

Especially after this Covid 19 pandemic it would be a crime not to celebrate our key workers for all they have done.
