Bad deal for minorities and disabled in the NHSNHS staff in London who are sick or who have disabilities are more likely to face harassment and discrimination - from colleagues and patients alike - than other staff, according to a new survey. The Institute for Employment Studies report says staff with a disability or medical condition are less satisfied with the quality of their working lives and are more likely to experience an accident or injury or to be harassed or subject to violent attack. The survey also found respondents in all minority ethnic groups - making up a quarter of the survey - were more likely than white respondents to say they had experienced harassment or violence at work.
