    The camera would be helpful as there to much violence in the hospitals at least the staff will feel safe and patients
  2. Nicola Rathmill 5 Apr 2019
    To protect patients and staff.

    Let's give all Frontline and theatre staff body cameras to protect them

    Anyone at work should be free from violence and be home safe. The front line nhs workers are no different. If it stops or curtails violence in either direction iam happy to sign this position. Sad that it has come to this though .

    These would benefit staff and patients
  6. Elizabeth Robertson 10 Apr 2019
    should be compulsory in all areas of health care
  7. Sharon McDermott 11 Apr 2019
    Would be great for staff and patients would cut down violence in the workplace paramount for safety
  8. Grace Wallace 23 Apr 2019
    These cameras are needed
  9. Lorraine Crawford 29 Apr 2019
    These cameras could provide the guilt of an assailant and also provide innocence if being accused of an assault.
