The Evening Press reported a big rise in attacks on National Health Service staff (August 31).
I don't see why they should be subjected to violence from patients when these hardworking, dedicated professional people do a brilliant job caring for others.
Violence in any workplace is not accepted, so why should it happen in hospitals?
It's great to see the law is clamping down hard on offenders who commit bad behaviour against NHS staff.
People who are ill want to be cared for in a safe hospital environment, not something resembling a war zone.
