Islington Council is backing a campaign to install a seven foot high granite statue at Whittington Hospital in honour of Windrush and Commonwealth NHS nurses and midwives.
The memorial would honour the 40,000 nurses and midwives from around the Commonwealth who came to the UK between 1948 and 1973 to help the fledging NHS, which was facing problems recruiting enough staff - without whose contribution, it is said the NHS might have collapsed.
In commemoration of their efforts, community activist group, Nubian Jak, is working with the council and the Archway hospital to commission the 7ft high by 7ft wide statue made of blue, brown, and white granite, representing a stylised nurse or midwife.
