Declare a national NHS day every year so we can show our appreciation.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

The government should declare a National NHS day for people to show their support to our wonderful NHS, just like how we have Armed Forces day.

Given how the NHS are working very hard to combat covid19 and putting their lives at risk to defeat this virus and how hard they work during 'normal' times it's about time as a nation we showed our support and gratitude as a nation!
