Assaults On Nhs Staff

EDM number 571 in 1997-98, proposed by Helen Southworth on 09/12/1997.

That this House views with great concern the research by the Health and Safety Executive which reveals that 34 per cent of nurses have been subject to violence and assault while carrying out their caring work; believes that nurses and other front-line staff working in the NHS are entitled to go about their daily work free from the threat of violence and intimidation; recognises the action which the Government has already taken through the new national guidance, Effective Management of Security in A & E, and theHSG (97) 6 guidance on health and safety, to protect NHS staff in their workplace; and calls on the Secretary for Health to co-ordinate action to combat the tide of violence against NHS workers.

This motion has been signed by a total of 86 MPs.
