The Queen has awarded the George Cross to the NHS staff, past and present, for their services.

The citation was hand written by her.

It's nice to know the Queen appreciates their work, and sacrifice.

We, in the UK, now wait for the Government to give them a decent pay rise. :-(

Perhaps the Queen is firing a subtle shot over Boris's bow!

She understands the sacrifices the current batch of staff have made.

Fine words go a long way in showing appreciation of the sacrifices the NHS staff have made.

Are we always expected to say NHSGC now?
