The number of physical against hospital staff is rising in the U.K. New from Britain's National Health Service (NHS) show a six per cent rise in assaults on care in the past year. There were 63,199 reported in 2012-13 across England, up from 59,744 from the year. That means more than 173 nurses, orderlies or other are assaulted every day. Unions say these figures do not tell the story. Union spokeswoman Christina McAnea said: "Sadly, this is only the tip of the iceberg as violence on NHS remains an under-reported problem. The [government] cuts and resultant on services are causing growing patient frustration."

Britain's Health Minister Dr Dan Poulter condemned the on hospital staff. He said: "Any physical or verbal abuse against NHS staff is totally and will not be tolerated." He added: "It is that there have been so many physical assaults against NHS staff." He said there were to keep undesirable people out of hospitals. "Legal are available to remove people not requiring treatment from hospital premises in cases of behaviour, and to prosecute those who to leave." Richard Hampton of the group NHS Protect said: "NHS staff should expect to be able to provide in a safe environment, free from violence and assault."
