National NHS day

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

As there is a Mother’s Day and Father’s Day I think we should have a National NHS day. Should therefore be a bank holiday for everyone to celebrate the NHS day.
Because we now more than ever we can accept the importance of the NHS and the people who work for it.
