Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask Her Majesty's Government how many individuals are on the NHS's register of violent and abusive actions; and how many such individuals have been added in the past 12 months.

There is no centrally maintained ‘register of violence and abusive actions’ for the National Health Service. NHS trusts, working with their local police service are likely to maintain such registers as part of their responsibilities to ensure appropriate sanctions can be taken against ‘violent and abusive’ patients while ensuring they get the care they need within an environment where all patients and staff are protected.
