The British should have a day to celebrate the NHS once the outbreak is over.

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Allow a National day for street parties, similar to
The Queen’s coronation, coupled with bus parades for NHS workers to be applauded for their extreme heroism and absolute dedication to our health and wellbeing.

The NHS is poorly funded, often under appreciated yet a fundamental part of our democracy, social justice, and well being. We should celebrate the institution, its workers, and their absolute dedication to keeping us safe.
