I want the Government to have an inquiry into sexual violence being reported in NHS hospitals, to come up with a plan to reduce incidents.

I want the Government to do this because it appears to be a problem across the nation. I think the users of the NHS need to be aware and take necessary precautions to stay safe and it is not getting the investigations and media coverage it deserves.

Government response

Sexual misconduct in NHS settings is unacceptable. We are working with system partners to eradicate sexual misconduct in the NHS. The Government has no plans to launch an inquiry at this time.
