Changes to the way assaults on NHS staff are recorded have been criticised by the Royal College of Nursing (RCN).
The RCN expressed concern that the Government intends to rely on an annual survey that health service workers complete on an optional basis for information, rather than replace the collection of assault figures which used to be undertaken by the now scrapped body NHS Protect.
The criticism comes as MPs debate a backbench Bill on Friday which aims to toughen penalties for attacks on NHS staff and other emergency workers.
