Most of us are guilty of taking our NHS for granted but at this time of an unprecedented world wide health emergency many of us are turning out every Thursday evening to join together in showing how much we actually value and care about our NHS. Eventually, once the emergency is over, this nationwide weekly acolade will probably cease. Granting the NHS the style of ROYAL will be an acolade which will never cease, a permanent reminder of the value we as a nation place upon this vital body.
