An autistic teenager is asking for the names and hospital addresses of NHS workers so he can send them all a thank you card.
Patrick Joyce, 16, from Glasgow, wants to thank nurses and doctors for their efforts to help Covid-19 patients, and his mother said writing the cards will ease his anxiety about the pandemic.
Indra Joyce is Patrick’s full-time carer after his father died in 2014, when he was ten.
Ms Joyce said: “He wants to write to as many people as he can.
“He just wants to help them not be as sad, and to know that he supports them and appreciates what they are doing because too many people are dying, and he’s glad they at least have the doctors and nurses caring about them.
