Recommendation 38

38 Paragraph: 149

Systemic racism and racist bullying persist within the National Health Service.

Conclusion
We were horrified to hear clear evidence of racism within the NHS, with some staff subjected to racist bullying, harassment, and abuse from colleagues and patients. This behaviour is unacceptable anywhere, and we condemn it expressly here. Tackling racism is a recruitment and retention issue, and the NHS and Government must take it extremely seriously.
