To show how much the NHS mean to use and thank them for how much them have done for us 馃挋
Make it NHS day to show how much they have done for us 馃挋

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 do something 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 designating "national days".

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
