Local NHS awarded highest honour by Basildon Council
The NHS in mid and south Essex has been awarded Freedom of Entry to the Borough by Basildon Council at an event held on Wednesday 24 November at the Magic Mushroom restaurant in Billericay in recognition of the heroic efforts serving the community during the coronavirus pandemic.
Freedom of the Borough is the highest honour awarded in exceptional circumstances, where the recipient has provided outstanding services which have brought significant pride and satisfaction to the borough.
Four other NHS organisations including Basildon and Brentwood Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) were granted Freedom of the Borough back in May. The other organisations included East of England Ambulance Service Trust, Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust; North East London NHS Foundation Trust; and Essex Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust.
