Responding to the announcement that the Government has accepted Lord Mann's recommendations to tackle antisemitism and other forms of racism across the NHS, Mr Tim Mitchell, President of the Royal College of Surgeons of England (RCS England), said:

"We strongly support tougher accountability and mandatory training across the health service to stop antisemitism and all forms of racism in the NHS.  

"This is an important step towards ensuring that staff and patients always feel safe, respected, and supported in NHS settings.  

"Our code of conduct is clear: we have zero tolerance for discrimination, harassment, or abuse of any kind."
