NHS antisemitism review prompts reforms

A review led by Jonathan Mann, Baron Mann>>> has revealed that Jewish patients and staff within the United Kingdom — National Health Service>>> feel compelled to conceal their religious identity and 'suffer in silence' due to antisemitism. The United Kingdom — Department of Health and Social Care>>>, which commissioned the review, found instances of 'routine ostracism' and reluctance among Jewish patients to seek treatment. In response, the government is accepting Jonathan Mann, Baron Mann>>>'s recommendations, which include introducing a new staff standard to prevent and respond to racism, rolling out mandatory anti-racism training for United Kingdom — National Health Service>>> leaders, and updating existing equality training to cover antisemitism and anti-Muslim hostility. Health Secretary Ian Murray>>> has pledged swift action to implement these reforms, aiming to ensure the United Kingdom — National Health Service>>> is an inclusive employer and service provider for all.
