BME health workers ‘suffer more abuse than other staff’
HEALTH workers from black or ethnic minority backgrounds are more likely to report bullying and harassment than their white colleagues, an NHS report revealed yesterday.
According to new figures by the health service, 75 per cent of the acute trusts in England have a higher share of minority ethnic (BME) staff reporting abuse.
The NHS pledged a £2 million investment over the next two years to address the problem.
