NHS Bank Holiday

I would like the government to consider making a Bank Holiday for our NHS staff.
By having a day dedicated to them it would not only make them feel more appreciated but it would raise awareness for people to see exactly how much they do for us as I believe they are underrated.

You may wish to sign these petitions calling for the same action:

Move all bank holidays to a time after Coronavirus Lockdown: Move all bank holidays to a time after Coronavirus Lockdown

Bank holiday to thank those who helped during the COVID-19 crisis: Bank holiday to thank those who helped during the COVID-19 crisis
