Award NHS Staff working through COVID-19 Pandemic a Medal.

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

The NHS have been working tirelessly since the start of COVID-19 with many making huge sacrifices to maintain our services. Without them so many more people would have been lost and many more families affected by this Pandemic
We want due consideration for an Operational Medal to show support, solidarity and respect to the staff of our amazing NHS.

A medal, although small, will signify triumph, it will signify strength and resolution as we stand behind all the key workers in our NHS as they literally fight the war on COVID-19
