Health Secretary pushes for mandatory reporting of violence against NHS staff amid rising attacks.

Health Secretary Wes Streeting is pushing for mandatory reporting of violent incidents against NHS staff, after nearly 15% of healthcare workers reported facing physical violence. Speaking at a conference in Liverpool, Streeting vowed to protect staff and outlined a support package for over a million NHS workers. This includes better reporting of violence, ensuring correct payment, and career advancement. The government aims to improve working conditions and staff morale without considering charges for care.
