Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will hold discussions with his Cabinet colleagues on establishing a remembrance event on Whitehall to mark the work of (a) doctors, (b) nurses and (c) people who lost their lives during the covid-19 outbreak.

We are incredibly proud of the hard work and courage of health and care workers during the COVID-19 response. Officials from the Department are working with colleagues across Government to consider options to commemorate those who have lost their lives and to recognise the service of key workers across all sectors - including the National Health Service and social care.
