Prince William has paid tribute to the efforts of the NHS and its workers during the pandemic, describing the institution as probably the most admired organisation around .
The Duke of Cambridge s praise came during a call to a consultant working in a Belfast hospital, after a series of telephone and video calls to NHS staff across the country and in all departments since the start of the year.
During the call - made on March 17 with Dr Thelma Craig, a respiratory consultant at the Mater Hospital - William, 38, said: I just want to say on behalf of everyone what a fantastic job you ve done.
Ms Manson, a community children’s nurse from Kirkcudbright in Dumfries and Galloway, told the duke how she had cared for nine-year-old Holly Clarke at her home, so her parents Richard and Stevie Clarke, her twin sister Becca and older sister Emily could spend their last precious months with her before her death in October.
The family nominated her in the Nurse of Year category of the Scottish Health Awards and she won, receiving her honour late last year.
The 54-year-old nurse, a single mother herself to 16-year-old twin daughters, worked at the family’s home from May last year, to protect them from the risk of catching the virus.
