What the petition asks
I would like to see the George cross awarded to the nhs as a whole
I think this is huge example of “acts of the greatest heroism or for the most conspicuous courage in a circumstance of extreme danger”
The NHS is a national service full of brave hero’s putting their own lives at risk to save others
