Establish a specialist police force to protect the NHS

Petition Details

The NHS is one of our nations most valuable assets. Its important to protect the NHS, its staff and its patients. Establishing a specialist NHS police service will enable police officers employed by the NHS to protect the hospitals, staff and patients.

Additional Information

The NHS is currently protected by security staff and its own in-house fraud investigation department, supported by the local Home Office Police Service as needed. By introducing a specialist NHS police service, all of our nations hospitals, staff and patients will be protected by its own dedicated in-house police service. This will help reduce the number of assaults on NHS staff and patients, make patients feel reassured by a police presence and reduce crime and the fear of crime across the NHS.
