Numbers of attacks on NHS staff at Epsom and St Helier NHS Trust have fallen, figures show.

The hospital trust said there were 74 recorded assaults across its hospitals from 2012-13, compared with 117 in the previous year.

Chief executive Matthew Hopkins, said he was pleased at the decrease but one attack was one too many.

The NHS trust operates a zero-tolerance policy on physical and verbal assaults towards its 4,400 staff.
