The Pandemic has shown everyone how much we need our NHS & how much we need the professionalism, skill & courage of its staff. It is time for practical steps in response to what is owed & by creating an annual 'NHS Day' on July 5th we recognise the importance of the NHS to us all. By paying a one-off Gratitude Bonus to employees of the NHS we show, in a small way, how thankful we are that when the crisis arose the staff responded on our behalf without hesitation and at great risk to themselves
