"Mr. Hancock outlined a new joint agreement with police and the Crown Prosecution Service which will give police more powers to investigate and prosecute cases where NHS staff are the victim of a crime.

NHS staff can refuse to treat racist or sexist patients under new rules

I agree that hospitals should be able to refuse providing non-critical care to patients who verbally or physically assault them -- but that is where I draw the line....if a person calls an Indian doctor a dirty muslim sand n*ggr (because all brown people are muslim to a racist) -- that doctor needs to suck it up and do his or her job..

Assaults on hospital staff happens here too.....even more so.....

"There is a very fundamental problem in U.S. health care that very few people speak about," he says, "and that's the violence against health care workers. Daily — literally, daily — we are exposed to violent outbursts... a poll conducted by the American College of Emergency Physicians in 2018 found nearly half of emergency physician respondents reported being physically assaulted. More than 60 percent of them said the assault occurred within the previous year."

Universal health is anything but "for all". It is restrictive, and reserved...
