Information requested

Under the Freedom of Information Act, please could you provide me with number of reported physical assaults against NHS staff for 2016/17 and 2017/18, broken down by health body

These figures were previously published by NHS Protect, I am looking for similar information but for the two most recent financial years, including:

  • Name of health body
  • Type
  • Total Assaults
  • Assaults Involving Medical Factors
  • Assaults NOT Involving Medical Factors
  • Declared Total Staff
  • Assaults per 1,000 Staff
  • Declared Criminal Sanctions
  • Declared Civil and Administrative Sanctions

I can confirm that this information is not held by the NHS Counter Fraud Authority (previously NHS Protect). I would suggest that you send a similar request to each individual NHS Trust.
