Episode notes

A top ambulance boss has apologised after a year-long Sky News investigation revealed a culture of sexual abuse and harassment within the ambulance service.  
 
On the Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson speaks to Sky correspondent Rachael Venables who has been leading the investigation into abuse patients and staff in the service have faced and what is being done to restore trust in those who care for us.  

A spokesperson for NHS England said: “Any abuse or violence directed at NHS staff is totally unacceptable and will not be tolerated, and the NHS is committed to tackling unwanted, inappropriate or harmful sexual behaviour in the workplace. We have recently introduced new national guidance and training that will help staff recognise, report and act on sexual misconduct at work to stamp out this awful behaviour.”
