"The NHS is a universal health service, which means that everyone, regardless of race, religion or belief should feel safe seeking its care. It is unacceptable that this is not the current reality for many patients and staff, and I will not allow it to continue."
"Racism, including anti-Jewish racism, has no place in the health service, and the current system is too slow and cumbersome to address these issues effectively."
The General Medical Council is undergoing significant reforms to address racism and antisemitism among doctors, particularly on social media. The Department of Health and Social Care has initiated a consultation for legislative changes, marking the most substantial reform in 40 years.

Recommendations from a review on racism in the health service are expected soon, aiming to empower the GMC and the Professional Standards Authority to act more decisively against misconduct.
