The motion
That this House notes with alarm the number of assaults on paramedics in the UK; expresses deep concern that in 2006-07 there were 1,006 physical assaults against ambulance staff in England; recognises that ambulance staff are highly trained and dedicated individuals at the cutting edge of the NHS; and calls on the Government to adopt a zero tolerance approach to anyone who attacks ambulance staff whilst at the same time looking to provide all staff with stab vests in order to protect them from attacks.
