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

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