Once the COVID-19 pandemic has passed, to hold an annual 'NHS Day'

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

Announce an annual NHS Day that will celebrate the truly remarkable men and women who serve in the NHS and who have been sacrificing and risking so much during the COVID-19 national emergency. We owe it to them to never forget the efforts which have gone into saving as many lives as possible.

We want the Government or Parliament to do this because we should never take for granted the men and women who dedicate their lives to saving the lives of others.
