NHS: Antisemitism
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of allegations of antisemitic behaviour and racism perpetrated by UK doctors and other healthcare professionals in the workplace; and what steps they are taking to protect Jewish patients and doctors seeking care and working within the NHS.
- Answer
-
In October 2025, Lord John Mann was asked to undertake an urgent review into how the health system, including National Health Service employers and United Kingdom health professional regulators, are dealing with incidents of antisemitism and other forms of racism.
On 4 June 2026, the Government published Lord Mann’s review, alongside a Government response, which, accepted all recommendations for the Department and NHS England, subject to consultation where appropriate. We are taking action to deliver these recommendations, to help protect all patients and staff from hatred and discrimination.
